Yeah, there's lots of ways to get a bottle open, but I am rarely cycling without my car keys anyhow, which has an opener on it solving that issue!
I'm not allowed to anymore, the wife put her foot down after I crashed with a glass bottle on my pocket and cut my thigh open with the shards

In my home state of PA, wine is often hard to get in rural areas, so I also carry a very light bottle opener in the shape of a baseball bat. It was a bar giveaway promotion.

After a long hot ride, though, one of the best things is ice-cold watermelon. I have not seen a bike-mounted cutting board, nor panniers that easily hold and keep cool a whole watermelon. If you aren't worried about bike portability, you can slice and peel several navel oranges, and top with a mash up of a cup of oil-cured black olives, several sprigs worth of fresh thyme leaves, and a quarter cup of olive oil, blended to give a caviar-like texture. Top with toasted fennel. After a hot ride, you'd be surprised how many ice-cold orange slices you can consume.
