Peugeot Elis Touch Electric Corkscrew Review (2026)
In-depth review of the Peugeot Elis Touch: press-down activation, battery life, charging station, and who should buy it.
Peugeot Elis Touch Electric Corkscrew
The premium electric: press-down activation, a long-lasting battery, and a stainless design that looks at home on a dinner table.
Our verdict
The Peugeot Elis Touch is the best premium electric wine opener, and the right buy for anyone who wants the most refined version of a simple job. Press-down activation, a battery rated at up to 80 bottles per charge, and a stainless design with a proper charging station make it feel like a table instrument rather than a gadget. It does the same basic job as the Secura, so the extra money buys refinement, not a different result. Buy it if you open wine often and care about how the tool looks and feels; buy the Secura if you only want the cork out.
What we like
- Press-down activation starts the cork removal with no button to find: set it on the bottle, press gently, and the worm does the rest.
- The lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 80 bottles per charge and recharges in about two and a half hours on the included base.
- Stainless steel and ABS construction with a charging station and LED battery indicator give it a finished, table-ready look that cheaper electrics lack.
What to watch out for
- It costs several times the budget electrics while doing the same basic job, so the extra money buys refinement rather than a different result.
- It is made for still wine only, so sparkling wine corks still need to come out by hand.
- The tall body and charging station need a permanent spot on the counter, and it is not a tool to carry to a picnic.
Who it is for
Buyers who want the most refined electric opener and are happy to pay for design, battery life, and a proper charging station.
Press-down activation
The Elis Touch has no button to find. Set it on the bottle neck and press gently, and the cork removal starts by itself; a button on the side ejects the cork afterwards. That sounds like a small detail, but at a dinner table it is the difference between a tool and a gadget: there is nothing to explain to a guest, and nothing to fumble with when hands are full. The mechanism is automatic in both directions, inserting and removing the cork with a simple press.
Battery life and charging
The lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 80 bottles per charge, which is well beyond the Secura and Oster at up to 30, and it recharges fully in about two and a half hours on the included base. The charging station has an LED battery indicator, so the charge state is visible at a glance instead of a guess. For a household that opens wine several times a week, that means charging every few weeks rather than every few days, and no flat battery at the start of a dinner party.
How it stacks up
Against the Secura Electric Wine Opener, the Peugeot wins on battery life, activation, and design, while the Secura wins clearly on price. Against the Ozeri Nouveaux II, the Peugeot wins on housing and battery, while the Ozeri wins on USB-C charging and on including a pourer and stopper. Against the HiCoup Professional Waiter's Corkscrew, the Peugeot wins on ease, while the HiCoup wins on price, portability, and never needing a charge.

Questions, answered
How many bottles per charge?
Peugeot rates the lithium-ion battery at up to 80 bottles on a full charge, with a full recharge taking about two and a half hours on the included base.
Does it work on sparkling wine?
No. Peugeot states it is for still wine only. Sparkling wine corks are held in by pressure and a wire cage, and they come out by hand.
What is in the box?
The corkscrew, a charging base with LED battery indicator, and a foil cutter. There is no pourer or stopper, which the Ozeri includes instead.
