Let’s face it, wine is a pretty magical potion. But even the best bottle can be let down by a dodgy corkscrew or lukewarm serving. Enter the wine gadget revolution. From tools that rescue your fizz to devices that pour without popping a cork, today’s accessories are less about gimmicks and more about pure sipping satisfaction.
So whether you’re a casual weeknight tippler, the host with the most, or a collector whose wine fridge has its own postcode, here are ten must-have gadgets that will make every glass more glorious.
1. Pulltap’s Double-Hinged Waiter’s Corkscrew
Classic, compact, and utterly reliable.
This little wonder is the Swiss army knife of wine openers. The double hinge gives you leverage that feels like cheating. It’s the corkscrew sommeliers swear by, and for good reason.
Personal note: I’ve fumbled with many openers in my time, but this one never lets me down.
2. Coravin Timeless Six+
Pour without pulling the cork? Witchcraft! I don’t know how I’d manage with out this one!
Thanks to a surgical needle and some noble argon gas, you can enjoy a glass today and revisit the same bottle next month. Ideal for those who like to drink posh without the pressure to finish the bottle.

Confession: I once wasted a vintage bottle because I couldn’t finish it in time. Never again with this.
3. Vacu Vin Wine Saver
Less air, more flavour.
This clever pump keeps oxygen at bay, letting your leftover wine live to pour another day. It’s saved many a bottle from the kitchen sink.

This is the wine saver I started my wine journey with, reliable and simple.
4. Riedel Cabernet Decanter
Because good wine deserves to breathe.
Not just for show, a proper decanter like this opens up your wine like a good therapist – coaxing out the hidden notes and softening the rough edges.

I really want to get me one of these, although I probably have too many decanters already!
5. Cuisinart Electric Opener
No muscles, no problem.
One push of a button and that cork’s history. Perfect for parties, arthritis, or just showing off.

If you’ve had a wrist injury, this should be your go-to opener.
6. The Durand Wine Opener
Old corks, beware.
If you dabble in aged reds, this is your secret weapon. It extracts crumbly corks like a ninja, leaving your 1990 Bordeaux intact and your nerves unshattered.
I have part of one of these but it’s not Durand, again something one day I’ll need to get!
7. Eto Wine Preserver & Decanter
Design meets function.
Decant your wine, drink a bit, then seal it airtight for tomorrow. It’s like a time capsule for your Claret.
Easily a favourite, I have 2 of these and use them most weeks. Keeps the wine good for the week!
8. Huski Wine Cooler
Ice buckets are so last decade.
This sleek little number keeps wine chilled for hours without the drippy mess. Beach days, garden parties, or Netflix nights – it’s always on point.
I’m sure there is a lot of physics in this one but magically it keeps the wine properly chilled for ages!
9. Rabbit Super Aerator
Faster breathing for impatient drinkers.
No time to decant? This pourer adds a quick oxygen hit, making young reds smoother and mid-week wines feel fancy.
I’ve been skeptical of aerators, but maybe this one will prove me wrong one day.
10. Le Creuset Sparkling Stopper
Keep your bubbles, bubbly.
Re-corking fizz with a standard stopper is like putting a party hat on a sloth. This one clamps on and keeps the sparkle for days.

I used to waste half bottles of bubbly. Stoppers like this are a game-changer.
Final Sip: Choose Your Tools Wisely
Not every gadget belongs in your drawer, but a few smart picks can seriously elevate your wine life. From first twist to final pour, the right accessories don’t just make drinking easier – they make it better. Cheers to that!
