If you&#8217;re looking to upgrade your opener, the Copper Opener from William Sonoma (pictured below) is a great choice. Not only does it function as it should, it&#8217;s also pretty enough to leave out on the bar. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.williams-sonoma.com\/products\/copper-wine-opener\/?pkey=cbar-wine-opener&amp;isx=0.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pick yours up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-236\" src=\"https:\/\/hellodev.weeklytasting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/static1.squarespace-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"616\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Williams Sonoma Copper Wine Opener<\/p>\n<h2>Wine Glasses<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve opened the bottle with your fancy new Copper Wine Opener, you&#8217;re going to need something to pour it into.
