Introduction
While the majority of wine professionals prefer to use the classic waiter’s friend corkscrew to open a bottle of wine, technology like electronic wine openers can also be quite useful. According to Michele Thomas, a sommelier and writer based in Brooklyn, “Electric openers can increase the likelihood that corks on older bottles will break.”
