The Oster makes opening wine effortless: press a button to pull the cork, press again to eject it, and put it back on its stand to charge. The included foil cutter and chiller round it out into a handsome gift set, and it is a genuine help for anyone who finds a corkscrew hard work. It asks for a little technique at first, it is tall, and the chiller is only a modest extra. The bigger question is longevity, since durability draws more complaints than anything else about it.
Who should buy it
- Wine drinkers with arthritis
- Anyone buying a wine-lover's gift
- People who open a few bottles a week and want it quick and easy
- Hosts who want an opener that lives on the counter charged and ready
An easy, attractive electric opener with a useful stand and foil cutter. Buy it for convenience and as a gift, knowing it may not last as long as a good manual corkscrew.
