1. A bottle opener for removing a cap from a bottle (300), comprising:
an image sensor for capturing an image of an external surface of the cap;
a fulcrum surface for contacting a portion of the cap;
a hook engageable under a flange of the cap for removing the cap from the bottle in response of a relative rotation of said bottle opener with respect to the bottle using the fulcrum surface as a fulcrum;
a cap removal detector arranged to provide an indication that a removal of the cap of the bottle is underway by sensing a force between the fulcrum surface and the hook; and
a metal sensor for detecting a metallic cap;
wherein the cap removal detector is arranged for triggering a capture of an image of said external surface of the cap when said force exceeds a predefined threshold; and
wherein the cap removal detector is arranged for triggering a capture of said cap if a metallic cap is detected.
