Red Wine stroke therapy

I'm now the owner of a battery powered corkscrew. It works great except that the foil cutter requires the bad hand to be able to grasp the bottle securely and not tip it, my wrist spasticity makes that almost impossile. I usually have to set the bottle on the floor and steady it between my shoes to keep it from spinning as the corkscrew works. So over the course of three days I finish off a bottle of red wine.
I'm sure box wines would be easier to open but they require two hands to serve, one hand to hold the glass under the spigot, the other hand to push down on the spigot to pour wine into the glass. I've done it single-handed by holding the glass and using a thumb to pull the lever down. But that is prone to spillage.  
Don't do this.
I do it for all these reasons.

  1. I usually have my guest hold the bottle while I operate the power cork screw and pour with my good hand.

    I passed this on to my red wine buddies:

    No wonder I like a little vino!

    I am sure you could find some justification here also!
