Foilcutters represent the first step necessary for getting into a bottle of wine. Without a foilcutter, you're reduced to running a knife around the top of a glass bottle. Not so safe.

Please note the qualifier, as we're sure there are a select few people out there who are quite capable of considerable catastrophe using nothing but a foilcutter.
