Answer 2

Are you asking how the cork is put into the bottle, or how the screw is put into the bottle to pull the cork out?

There is a machine known as a "corker" that is used to put the cork into the bottle. Basically these consist of a chamber that squeezes the moistened cork down to a diameter that is slightly smaller than the mouth of the bottle (either through a cam that compresses it when the chamber is closed or through a funnel like shape of the chamber itself) and a piston to push the cork out of the bottom into the bottle. Most winemakers then put foil wrapper over the neck of the bottle to give it a finished look.

Inserting a cork screw to remove the cork is pretty easy. Just "screw" it into the cork and pull.

Answer 3

First of all, it's the cork. The cork screw is what you use to get it out. The have a machine the can push the cork in. If you wanted to you could do it with your hand, it's just hard.
