| Anonymous Coward User ID: 41670256 United States06/14/2013 01:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | if you cannot find your wine bottle opener? i just received a case of kosher wine and wanted to drink some red wine. yeah yeah, i probably shouldn't, bc i am taking muscle relaxers, but this is my life....my body and i am not a big drinker. i just want to sleep and feel less physical pain and thinking this might help. Quoting: m&m's i thought i had unpacked my great cork opener and my oxygen taking out wine stoppers, but cannot find them anywhere? any suggestions? i do not want to drink corky wine from the cork disintegrating into the bottle from a knife.....or am i just screwed? i don't really want to buy a new one since i have a nice one, but may need to do that tomorrow. i hate spending money while obama is in the WH. ugh. any suggestions much appreciated... If you have pliers and a phillips screwdriver, you can get a long phillips screw (maybe a door hinge screw), screw that into the cork and use the pliers to pull it out. |

| MAKE ONE User ID: 40375909 United States06/14/2013 02:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The easiest way is to make one out of a coat hangar. Should take no more than 5 minutes unwind the twisty wraps of the wire at the neck, or cut it off if you have wire cutters or diagonal cutters. After making one piece out of it straighten the curves, take one end and sharpen it on a concrete block, sandpaper, file, stucco, a rock, even a sidewalk or the road. Then just bend it in a spiral shape with 3 tight coils and double up the rest into a handle you can use to push, twist, and pull on to extract the cork. Maybe 10 minutes without any tools or file. Enjoy the wine!!! |

(you'll have to put it between your legs or something probably) Get an icepick and put the point dead center on the bottom of the depression on the bottom of the bottle. Now put the handle of the ice pick in between your hands like you are praying. Start rubing your palms back and forth like you are cold and trying to warm you palms while putting downward pressure on the ice pick. The friction will eventually make a hole about the size of a straw.Now i lol wondering how much of this post you actually read until it seemed like something was wrong. |
| Pushey No Worky User ID: 40375909 United States06/14/2013 02:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pushing the cork won't work because the compression and pressure gets more powerful with each quarter of an inch you might manage to push it down. The air in the neck can compress but the wine doesn't compress and unless the space above the level of the wine is below where the cork could be pushed free of the sides of the bottle it won't work. If you have heavy equipment to push down with enough force to accomplish this task the bottle would explode from the pressure of the wine outwards. Physics principles says this approach is a no go. |

Quoting: Pushey No Worky 40375909 it does work, and it's much quicker than making a corkscrew. |

Quoting: Pushey No Worky 40375909 true. thats why you tear the cork up i've done this many times when i was younger because i didnt have a cork screw the method in the link i left seems the best claw hammer, screw a nail into the cork, use claw of hammer to pull out on the nail |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 41505774  Philippines06/14/2013 02:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | rubberband method wrap a rubberband at the neck of bottle, not too stretched. put a few drops of lighter fluid or any accelerant. light it up and let it burn till it gets all hot. quickly douse the neck in water from faucet. the neck will cleanly snap off by itself because of the drastic temp change or you can help it a bit with a few taps from a spoon edge. you can also use a string or yarn in place of rubberband. cheers! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3063399 United States06/14/2013 03:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Any all night market or liquor store has cheap wine openers. Either the corkscrew type or the small flanges that go down beside the cork and allow you to elevate it with an upward pull/twist. Keep the cheap wine openers with your pencils and pens and pads in a "junk drawer" so you'll always have one around. When you find a bunch of them on sale, buy five or six of them. Always handy to have spares for picnics and such... where you don't want to take you $190 opener. |

| geminilion User ID: 12895036 United States06/14/2013 09:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last time I was in that position I figured I would push the cork down into the bottle after whittling around it with a steak knife.
