Not sure why, just something I am likely to do. Attempts should defo be recorded and uploaded.

Title: Re: Opening a bottle of wine without a corkscrew Post by: typhoon13 on December 15, 2011, 02:53:24 PM FAIL Just tried with a nice bottle Rioja. Wine has frothed up in bottle but cork remained firmly in place, SIGH. Title: Re: Opening a bottle of wine without a corkscrew Post by: RED-DOG on December 15, 2011, 03:06:34 PM Try staring hard the cork while squeezing the bottle between your thighs. (Sometimes it helps if you cross your eyes or break wind every now and then).
You have to really believe or it won't work.

The sole on my shoe/boot was too thick and soft for it to work, and I nearly ended up knocking down the wall rather than opening the bottle.
I think you need thin-soled shoes, enough to stop the bottle breaking on impact, but thin enough to let the shock of the impact travel through the bottle. That French bloke in the video has done it a few times before obviously.

My Cuban heel was too thick and soft for it to work, and I nearly ended up knocking down the wall rather than opening the bottle.

Title: Re: Opening a bottle of wine without a corkscrew Post by: thetank on December 16, 2011, 08:55:29 AM I had this problem last week and found a very simple solution on the google that worked well.
Screw a screw into the cork. Remove with claw hammer. |
