 That’s a fine corkscrew right there. The kind of corkscrew that says “I’m not a little bitch.” 
 I like the act of uncorking the bottle with one of these. Uncorking it with an electric one feels gay as hell lol 😂 
 It’s always helpful to look at the tools professionals use, and you will never see a professional booze-slinger using anything but an old-fashioned corkscrew (I also professionally slang booze for a number of years and speak from both experience as a slinger and as a consumer of booze).

Also good luck using that fancy pants electric corksucker after an EMP blast, cucks. 
 I had this very nice bottle with a friend recently and it was opened tableside with a $10 opener. The way it should be. nostr:nevent1qqsryzf8ydmlgsdumw5n6aayqtwucjqpffq6xmeldpa7ugtcrjjzevgpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33wf6xcutrvyu8ydnpw4ukzae4dc6ksvmvx56ryvnyd568xunex4j85en9v56rvwfkveck2wrnxeckwatyddenwer2w3n8x0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmqpr9mhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7mh68eh 
 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.
