How to get cork out of wine bottle without corkscrew?!
Answers: Lost my corkscrew! Want to enjoy this wine and no place open on Christmas Eve to buy another corkscrew.
Take a wood screw, slowly (by hand, no powertools here), screw it into the cork. Grab the head of the screw with plyers and pull. You'll want to choose a screw that has as big of groves as possible, one that is long enough to get enough cork on it to pull.
Do you have a pocket knife anywhere? One that might have a corkscrew on it?
See if you can find a screw that's fatter than normal. By hand with a screw driver screw it into the top of the cork. Try and find a screw that is long enough to go all the way through the cork. Gently with a pair of pliers, wiggle the screw back and forth to remove the cork.
Ya might want to strain the wine just to make sure you don't end up with any pieces of cork in the wine.
Enjoy.
just go to the freakin nearest liquor store or 7/11 and buy one,....get it over with .....it will be worth the trouble.
you could always use a knife and pop the cork in the bottle
I have used a knife before. It is kind of hard but be patient and it will come out. ..... and be careful! haha
get a flat head screw driver that is really thin on the end, slide it inbetween the glass and the cork and let leverage work its magic. just dont pry it too hard.
You could push the cork into the bottle using a hammer and a long cylindrical tool.
