The $5 Accessory That Makes You Look Like a Pro: The Simple Foil Cutter

The Best Wine Foil Cutter

Recommend: Oggi Wine Foil Cutter

This is it. This is the smallest, cheapest, most overlooked accessory that will dramatically improve your wine-opening life.

What It Is: A small, simple plastic or metal tool with four tiny cutting wheels inside. You place it on top of the bottle, squeeze, and twist.

Why You ActuallyNeed It (The "Proof"): Let's be honest: using that dinky little knife on your corkscrew is awkward. You saw at the foil, it comes out jagged, and you feel like a fool. A dedicated foil cutter gives you a perfectly clean, even cut, right below the bottle's lip, in one second. Every. Single. Time.

How It Makes Your Wine Experience Better: It’s a tiny, inexpensive luxury. It makes the opening process smooth, clean, and elegant. It's one of those "how did I live without this?" gadgets that costs less than a latte and makes you feel like a pro every time you open a bottle.

What to Look For: Just buy one. Any simple, four-wheel model will do the trick.
