There are many accessories which one can use to open a bottle of wine; however the easiest way to accomplish this is with a screwpull wine opener.

While the "waiter wine opener" is the most commonly known of these accessories, having a sharp knife at one end which cuts the seal from the wine bottle and a corkscrew at the opposite end for removing the cork, it can be quite difficult for some people to use as this type has a tendency to break the cork leaving pieces floating in the wine.

The screwpull wine opener has a housing which covers the corkscrew and a handle on top which allows you to surround the opening of the bottle and have a firm grip while twisting into the center of the cork until it is all the way in then simply pulling up with one motion releases the cork.

These corkscrews come in many different styles and sizes which can include a foil cutter, table top, and pocket size. There are also  screwpull wine opener gift sets which can be found online from sites such as Amazon.com and make a great gift for any wine connoisseur.
