Operating Instructions
We recommend that you charge your electric Wine Opener for at least 8 hours before using it for the first time. Please follow the instructions below for recharging your Electric Wine Opener:
Recharging your Electric Wine Opener
Plug one end of the adapter cord into the base of the charging stand and the other end into a main socket. Place the Electric Wine Opener into the recharging stand ensuring that it is firmly in position and that it is fully engaged with the recharging connection. You will notice that the LED light illuminates. It will take approximately 6-8 hours to recharge your electric Wine Opener. When your Electric Wine Opener is fully recharged it can be used to open approximately 30 bottles.
Operate Your Electric Wine Opener
The Electric Wine Opener is operated by one single switch. The switch has two functions. Press the lower part of the switch to remove a cork from a bottle. After you have removed the cork from the bottle, press the upper part of the switch to release a cork from the mechanism.
Before removing the cork you must remove any foil from the bottle using the cutter provided.
- Place the Electric Wine Opener on top of the wine bottle making sure that it remains as upright as possible at all times. If you hold the Electric Wine Opener at an angle to the bottle it will not remove the cork properly.
- Hold the Electric Wine Opener firmly and depress the lower part of the switch. The corkscrew spiral will turn in a clockwise direction and enter the cork, then gradually remove it from the bottle. When the Electric Wine Opener mechanism has stopped the cork has been fully removed from the bottle.
WARNING: Never force the electric Wine Opener onto a bottle or attempt to speed up the mechanism. The electric Wine Opener will work best when it is operated at its natural speed. - Lift the Electric Wine Opener away from the bottle. To remove the cork from the mechanism, simply depress the upper part of the switch. The spiral will turn in a counterclockwise direction and release the cork.
- Always return the Electric Wine Opener to the recharging stand when finished with it. This will protect the machine while it is not in use.
Note: It has been noted that the Electric Wine Opener may experience problems with a small percentage of plastic/synthetic corks and undersized corks, in this case, the cork should be removed manually.
Cleaning Your Electric Wine Opener
Electric Wine Opener should be wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge and then wipe dry. NEVER immerse Electric Wine Opener in water. DO NOT place Electric Wine Opener in the dishwasher.

Yes, you can use the electric Wine Opener on a bottle of sparkling wine. However, you may want to open the bottle with a traditional corkscrew first, as it is easier than using the electric Wine Opener. Then, remove the cork from the bottle using your electric Wine Opener.
Red wine is made from grapes that are fermented with their skins on. White wine is made from grapes that are fermented without their skins on. This causes white wine to have a lighter color and flavor than red wine.
A cork conditioner is a product that helps to keep your corks moist and pliable so they do not break when you remove them from your bottles of wine.
An aerator is a tool that helps to improve your wine’s flavor by breaking down its tannins and sulfides into smaller particles so they can be better absorbed by your body.
“Corked” means that there are traces of TCA (Toluene 2-Diisocyanate) in your wine’s cork. TCA is a chemical compound that has a strong odor and taste similar to wet cardboard or plastic bags. It is most commonly found in wines stored in barrels or stainless steel tanks for too long.
“Breathe” means letting your wine sit out for about 30 minutes before drinking it so that its flavors can come out naturally and not be masked by its tannins or sulfides.
I experienced this when using the secure wine opener. I tried turning the corkscrew but was unable, so I patiently waited. Eventually, as the cork dried up, it split up and was easily removed. Although it might have taken two or three months, it has been operating without a hitch for the past two years.
One is mine, and it functions flawlessly. I gave a few of them out as gifts and asked Amazon to wrap the package and provide a gift card.
The compact charger charges the device with 9 Volts DC at 200 milliamps after converting 120 Volts AC.
The guarantee lasted a year.
This model has a battery and a charging device. When not in use, the opener is often left on the charging unit. The charging device is connected to 110v.
This opens wine bottles. I believe you are confusing it with something quite else.
It will if you have a bigger pocket. It’s a fantastic, simple-to-use product.
