besides using a cork screw?

Okay...I have no wine bottle opening devices and no corkscrew and I can't go out and buy one right now. Is there any other way to get that cork out? If so, please tell me how.

"I have resorted to the "push it down into the bottle with a screwdriver or dull knife" method way too many times. But it works in a pinch..."
with this method , please please please filter with a coffee filter and decanter the wine... otherwise the cork will float in the wine - might upset your belly : /
there are other various ways to open a wine bottle but please ... if you are going to use a screwdriver/knife , make sure they are clean when you do use them :)
the easiest way is of course a corkscrew, they're cheap.
i promise

There is, in fact, another way. You'll need two small (thin is key) flathead screwdrivers. Pound each flathead into the sides of the cork: on the edge of the glass. Once both screwdrivers are in place, squeeze them together and pull. Bingo! I did learn something in college.

tie a string in knot and pull the cork up.

how about slicing bit by bit the cork until you reach the other end.

shake the bottle up and let it pop on its own

Just tip it up and suck it out.
