Corkscrew help

Post by witchhunt »

What's a good way to get a cork out of a wine bottle without a corkscrew? Someone gave me a corked bottle and I don't want to buy a corkscrew cause I'd probably never use it again.

I'm personally a fan of the screw tops. They're nice if you just want to drink a glass and not have to put a bottle stop in after you're done. You sometimes don't know if you have a screw top or a traditional corked bottle until you go to open it, though.

I tried the tree method. Didn't work. Now the bicycle hook did work. Problem is it's the worst wine I ever tasted. No wonder he gave it away. :x

Screw a drywall screw into the cork and rip it out with Robo Grips.

Hahaha! :lol:

Jeff's method sounds like it will work perfectly.
Either robo grips or vice grips.


What are robo grips?

Sears Craftsman vice grips that work like pliers. They don't lock in place with hands off like vice grips, but I think they have a new model out that does.

I would usually push the cork into the bottle. Easiest thing to do. Best to check Physics book first.

#1) Blast the top of the bottle off with a pistol.. preferably something above .40 S&W.. beware of collateral damage (it'll be hard to explain the bullet in the back of grandmas head)

#2) Most important...filter out any glass shards with your front teeth as you drink.... ***Don't try this if you live in WV the glass shards will mess you up once you consume them....
