Best Corkscrew Wine Openers of 2018

It was Friday and I burst out of the doors at work and headed home, already salivating over the wine at home. I had no plans but to "wine" down with a bottle and binge watch The Office. The more eager I was to drink the wine, the rougher I was trying to open the bottle. Then the worst thing happened—the cork split in half. I cursed at my new corkscrew for being the cheapest tool ever.

Nothing is worse than breaking the cork in half. The majority of the time, it's the corkscrew at fault, not the way you pull it. After that horrifying incident, I decided to look for another new wine opener. I wanted one that I knew was a popular choice, maybe even one that was on the ultimate gift guide for wine lovers.

After looking online, I came across the most popular corkscrew wine openers of the year and bought two for myself because of their popularity. If you're in desperate need of a corkscrew, check out these 10 reliable ones that won't betray you like mine did.
