WONDER WARES
Here's the scenario: a guest arrives at your house with a fine bottle of Pinot Grigio that you suddenly realize is—gasp!—room temperature. No problem. Just add ice and water to your Cooper Cooler ($80, top right above), plug it in, and in about six minutes the wine will be perfectly chilled. Now, to open the bottle, grab the battery-powered corkscrew (above middle) from Select Brands ($25; a rechargeable version is available for $50), press a button, and with almost no effort on your part, the cork comes free. A productivity gain that everyone can applaud.
