A question for wine connoisseurs. Whenever I try to open a bottle of wine the corkscrew gets stuck in the?

Question

metal cap. Any solutions to this problem? I only buy the finest quality fortified wines.

Answer 1

The problem is the metal cap. They just don't make 'em like they use to. My advice is to switch to the brands that come in boxes with a plastic tap.

At present, only a few, very exclusive vintners in the Napa-Sonoma-Mendicino area of northern California are using this packaging.

I've found that it works best with wine pressed from grapes grown in the western fields, where they get afternoon sun. If the soil has been maintained with a pH level between 4 and 6, any of the red varietals will have a distinctive musky taste and a slightly fruity nose.

When you come across such a treasure, be sure to stock your cellar with an ample amount. This week's vintage should be a modern classic.

g'day m8
very simple indeed
all you have to do it make sure the corkscrew goes in dead straight and remains in the centre of the cork. Also dont push down on the corkscrew, always twist the bottle with your left hand in the opposite description you are twisting the cork screw in.
Hope this helps you out

Answer 3

The problem is that you are using a right hand thread cork screw and the caps on all the good wine bottles are left hand thread, Try using a buck knife instead.

Answer 4

Try holding the bottle upside down. If then inserting the Corkscrew is difficult try standing on your head. If that doesnt work drink three bottles and try standing.

Answer 5

You're silly. Do you sniff the metal cap before you taste the wine as well?

Answer 6

I just use the back edge of a cleaver to knock the top off...

Answer 7

buy it in the box, duh
