Secura Electric Wine Opener Review (2026)
In-depth review of the Secura Electric Wine Opener: one-button opening, stainless housing, battery life, and who should buy it.
Secura Electric Wine Opener
The electric most kitchens should own: one button, a stainless housing, and a charging base it lives on.
Our verdict
The Secura Electric Wine Opener is the best wine opener for most kitchens, because it removes the one part of opening wine that most people find hard. You cut the foil, set the opener on the bottle, and press a button, and the cork comes out straight with no twisting or pulling. The stainless housing and charging base are the details that lift it above cheaper electrics, and the price stays fair. The battery is the honest limit, as it is on every electric here, so charge it before a party and keep a manual key in the drawer as a backup.
What we like
- One button drives the worm in and draws the cork out, and a second button reverses the motor to release the cork, so there is no twisting or pulling at all.
- The stainless steel housing feels solid in the hand, wipes clean after a spill, and holds up better than the plastic bodies on cheaper electrics.
- It comes with a charging base and a separate foil cutter, so it lives upright on the counter, charged and ready, instead of in a drawer with a flat battery.
What to watch out for
- The battery and motor are the weak point, and a share of owners report a unit giving out within the first year of regular use.
- Very long or very dense synthetic corks can make the motor strain, so it is not the best choice for the toughest artificial corks.
- It is bulkier than a manual corkscrew, so it is a counter tool, not a pocket tool, and it needs its base nearby.
Who it is for
Most households that open wine a few times a week and want the cork out with no twisting or pulling.
One button, no technique
The Secura asks nothing of the user beyond placing it square on the bottle neck and pressing a button. The motor drives the worm down and draws the cork up into the housing, and a second button runs the motor in reverse to push the cork back off the worm. There is no twisting, no leverage to find, and no chance of snapping the cork by pulling at an angle, because the opener sits square on the bottle. For hands that struggle with grip, and for hosts who want to open a bottle while talking to guests, that simplicity is the whole point.
The housing and the base matter
The stainless steel housing is the detail that separates the Secura from most electrics at this level. It feels solid, it does not crack if it slips off the counter, and it wipes clean after a drip of red. The charging base matters just as much: the opener lives upright and ready rather than in a drawer with a flat battery, and the separate foil cutter stays with it. A full charge is rated at up to 30 bottles, which is plenty for a dinner party, and the wide 100 to 240 volt input range means it works wherever it is plugged in.
How it stacks up
Against the Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener, the Secura wins on housing and feel, since the Oster body is plastic, while the Oster wins on brand familiarity and an equally simple single switch. Against the Peugeot Elis Touch, the Secura wins on price by a wide margin, while the Peugeot wins on battery life and design. Against the HiCoup Professional Waiter's Corkscrew, the Secura wins on ease, while the HiCoup wins on never needing a charge and on fitting in a pocket.

Questions, answered
How long does the battery last?
Secura rates a full charge at up to 30 bottles. The maker recommends charging the opener every three months when it is not in regular use, to extend the lifespan of the battery.
Does it work on synthetic corks?
It works with most synthetic corks, but very long or very dense ones can make the motor strain. For the toughest artificial corks, a manual key is the safer choice.
What is in the box?
The opener, a charging base, and a separate foil cutter. There is no pourer or stopper, so if you want those, the Ozeri Nouveaux II covers them instead.
