how do i get a stuck cork out of a wine bottle?

Question

my boyfriend was being silly and broke the top off the cork now its stuck in the bottle, is there any way to get it out since i dont have a corkscrew and screwdrivers dont work.

Answer 1

hitting the bottom of the bottle in the ground, with patience you´ll take the cork out.

Answer 2

Rinse the top of the cork so there are no bits that will get inside the bottle.
Push the cork right inside the bottle so it goes inside into the wine. This can be hard but possible so be careful to have the bottle steady and not let it slip.
Having done this you can't always pour the wine because the cork will block the neck of the bottle as it floats on the wine so by using a screwdriver or something push the cork a little more inside while tipping the bottle to allow some wine to tip out this will also create an air gap inside the bottle so you can then pour the wine normally as the cork will be lower than the neck of the bottle.
But becareful once an air gap gets inside the bottle the wine will pour rapidly as normal so be ready for the splash as your first glug of wine comes out.
Pour the wine as normal after that.

Answer 3

I had a similar problem once. What I ended up doing was pushing the cork down into the wine and then I poured the bottle through a strainer to get rid of the little pieces of cork. I used a screwdriver to push the cork down.

Answer 4

I'm not much of a wine drinker but I've seen people who do drink wine push the cork inside the bottle. I thought it would ruin the taste of the wine but I was told that it doesn't.

Just push the cork into the bottle and use another cork or cover to plug the unused part.

Answer 5

Hold a book against the wall (for cushioning). Hold the wine bottle in the other hand and give a few solid whacks of the base of the bottle flat onto the book. The cork will work iself all the way out.

Instructions

* STEP 1: Slowly pour the wine into a pitcher or wine decanter. If the cork is the first thing to pop out and you don't see any floating debris, your problem is solved.
* STEP 2: If the cork has crumbled, remove cork debris by placing a finemesh strainer over the pitcher or decanter before you pour the wine into it. Taste-test the wine before serving it to make sure it isn't spoiled.
* STEP 3: If appropriate, serve the wine directly from the pitcher or decanter. If you prefer to use the original bottle, proceed to step 4.
* STEP 4: Form a narrow noose on one end of a 15-inch (38-cm) piece of medium-gauge wire, then bend the noose so it looks like a soup ladle. Bend a tiny hook on the other end to prevent the wire from slipping into the bottle.
* STEP 5: Slip the noose end of the wire into the empty bottle.
* STEP 6: Turn the bottle upside down so the cork falls to the neck of the bottle.
* STEP 7: Pull the noose up to the neck and make sure it catches the cork.
* STEP 8: Gently tug the wire out of the bottle. It will drag the cork with it.
* STEP 9: Pour a tiny bit of wine back into the bottle and swill it around to capture any remaining bits of cork. Pour this wine out.
* STEP 10: Place a funnel in the bottle and pour the wine back into the bottle. Pour slowly at a horizontal angle to minimize disturbance to the wine.

Answer 7

hold the bottle with your fingers firmly around the neck repeatedly hit the bottom of the bottle against a hard surface (a telephone pole works great)you will see the cork start to come out so you can adjust your striking force be care full the bottle could break in your hands

Answer 8

Push it in, corks float so it shouldn't come out in the drink. Thats what i usually have to do is just push into the bottle. you'll be alright if you do that. you may need to find another way to cover it up if you don't drink the whole bottle that night.

Answer 9

Sometimes you just have to poke the cork into the bottle. It doesn't make the wine taste any different.

Answer 10

only way is to push the cork into the bottle, unless you have a gas powered corkscrew
