For the person whose eyes don’t reach the bottom shelf…

This opener is hop notch. The Rabbit 6-Piece is a must-have for any grapeologist. It’s designed to remove corks in 3 seconds and has a ton of (necessary?) tools, like a drip-stop ring and wax remover. PS: You’ve probably come across this fave at your parent's or grandparent’s house. The Rabbit is a higher price point than many on our list.

theSkimm: Meet the Crane Crow Pose of wine bottle openers. Easier to use than it looks.

For the person who's always cleaning...

Meet the Monica Geller of wine openers. The Wine Enthusiast Opener and Preserver works like a vacuum that sucks up your cork and saves it in the (unlikely) event that you don’t finish the bottle. It’s effortless to use and comes with a charging dock that looks good on your counter, too. PS: it’s electric, so these start at a steeper price than manual openers.

For the person who keeps skipping AM workouts...

You'll still be able to muscle open this bottle. The HiCoup All-In-One Corkscrew has butterfly wings that give you more leverage. It’s also ergonomically designed so your hands can continue doing what they’re supposed to: elegantly holding wine glasses, not wrestling corks out of bottles.

For the person who drinks a glass after a long day…

This will relieve the pressure. Literally. The VinoNinja Cork Popping Opener opens wine bottles with science and a bit of elbow grease. Slide the pin into the cork and pump the handle a few times to pop it right off. Hold the dirty joke. Bonus: this method makes sure you don’t get any broken corks in your vino.

theSkimm: Meet the Supported Headstand of wine bottle openers. After a few tries, you’ll work it out—and once you do, you’ll look suuuper cool. 

For the person who chooses their bottle by the label art…

Drink your eyes on this. If you prefer to clink with a crowd, the Wine Enthusiast Legacy Corkscrew is more than just the perfect icebreaker. Mount the bronze corkscrew to your counter and pull the lever. Voila. Instagram boomerang video gold. Oh, and there’s wine, too.
