swedishcelt 0 #1 September 9, 2005 How do you open a bottle without a corkscrew??? It's beautiful. It's here. It's closed. What do you suggest? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #2 September 9, 2005 Not very classy, but push the cork INTO the bottle.

Amanda965 0 #4 September 9, 2005 Ah man! That sucks as I sit here drinking my bottle of yummy purple moon shiraz! I would do what Frendhy said. It is the least risky way of opening it without breaking glass or getting broken off cork in your bottle. Good luck!Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davedlg 0 #5 September 9, 2005 I have used a screwdriver, wood screw, and pliers. Screw the woodscrew into the cork then pull it out with the pliers. That usually works for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 0 #7 September 9, 2005 This is the correct answer. Next time, buy wine with a screw-top Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swedishcelt 0 #8 September 9, 2005 I feel for NO, I do but this is my first drink since July 4th weekend. I pushed it through. It worked splendidly. It's wonderful. Thank you to who sent it as well. Excellent choice!! VERY yummy. Too bad I am wearing a glass of it too. (Pushing cork in apparently pushes quite a bit of wine out!) Aaaahhhhhh.... sighs. Mmmmmmmm. Very good indeed.

kelel01 1 #9 September 9, 2005 No. Next time, bring the wine over here, so I can drink myself into oblivion. I have a corkscrew. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #12 September 9, 2005 QuoteThis is the correct answer. Next time, buy wine with a screw-top Unfortunately, unlike our more enlightened friends down under, the wine industry up here for the most part clings stubbornly to the idea that cork=classy and the only "wine" that can be found with a screw top is sleazy fortified wine."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

NWFlyer 2 #13 September 9, 2005 Mmmm.... wine. Glad you got into the bottle. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
