 I have trouble wrapping my mind around the concept of anyone using an electric corkscrew. I’ve never seen it done. It’s so lame I have trouble imagining that they are real. 
 Go old-school It's all in the wrist ! 🍷🥂 
 Same but with can openers 
 I have an eccentric uncle who uses one (for reference, I love the shit out of him), and it’s oddly cathartically soothing… similar to watching a drill press 
 what about an electric pepper grinder? what friction are you removing from the process of using both hand to squeeze a bit of pepper? Only makes sense for folks with some physical limitation, but I have only witnessed common people use it.
