Unitasker Wednesday: Rechargeable electric wine opener

Translate Into:

There are many options for opening a bottle of wine, but none of them will make your gadget loving friends as envious as this Peugeot Rechargeable electric wine opener from Williams-Sonoma.

This electric opener needs to be plugged in when the power gets low, but it is ready to pop out some serious corkage when charged. If you are in the market for a wine opener upgrade you’ll have to drop $120(!) on this thing. That is a small price to pay for the minutes that you will save instead of using the old fashioned non-electric alternative.

Ok, if you own a wine bar or have a drinking problem this thing will save you a lot of time and is probably very useful, but this thing seems like quite a bit of overkill for a rather easy task–especially with some amazing non-electric alternatives.

**Each week, the Unitasker Wednesday column humorously pokes fun at the unnecessary, single-use items that manage to find their way into our homes.
