How do I open wine without a cork screw?

Question

My roommate and I are trying to open a bottle of wine but we don't have a corkscrew. Any ideas?

Answer 1

push the cork down in the bottle. always worked for me

Answer 2

Use an ordinary screw (just one), a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers. Don't twist too much, but try to pull straight out when you can. You don't want the cork to crumble or break into your wine if you can help it, but honestly if it does, it's better if it goes in in larger pieces. The wine already has the cork's flavor in it.

Someone else suggested your teeth. That's harsh - I wouldn't try it unless you're very familiar with the wine and you know how much pop you're going to get from it - but it can work too.

Best suggestion of all - go to a Wal-Mart or Super-K or a dollar store and buy a $1 corkscrew.

Answer 3

each so often pushing the cork in is available, yet generally the air rigidity interior prevents it from going. each so often you could stick some thing skinny and pointy like a %. between the glass and cork to enable the air out, as you push the cork in. were given a Swiss military knife? they generally have a primitive corkscrew on them. Any of those methods possibility chipping the bottle, so be careful. probability is you'll have some cork in the wine, too, yet it truly is extra useful than no wine. If worse includes worst, attempt cutting the bottle neck off with an ax or hatchet. LOL. GL.

Answer 4

Push the cork in, grab a rop make a big knot, ptu the rope in the bottle... The knot should hold on the cork and you can pull the cork out.
Other dangerous one, you can bang the bottom of the bottle on a 'soft' wall the cork will pop out slowly little by little... Do not try with your good shirt on

Answer 5

I just use a knife handle and push the cork in to the bottle. Then pour with the knife still in the bottle until there is enough room for the cork to float. Anything that will fit into the opening will work.

Answer 6

The only answer is to push the cork into the bottle. As you pour the wine, it will float to the top-most portion of the bottle.

Answer 7

Push the cork into the bottle with a screwdriver.
When you turn up the bottle to fill the glasses, it will move out of the way.

Answer 8
