Abstract: The invention concerns a bottle opener (101) for removing a cap (301) from a bottle (300). It comprises an image sensor (206) for capturing an image of the cap (301), a fulcrum surface (103) for contacting the cap and a hook (102,104) engageable under a flange (304) of the cap (301) for removing it from the bottle in response of a relative rotation of said bottle opener (101) with respect to the bottle (300) using the fulcrum surface (103) as a fulcrum. A removal detector (202, 204) is arranged to trigger a capture of an image by sensing a force between the fulcrum surface (103) and the hook (104) that exceeds a predefined threshold.
