How do you remove a plastic cork from a champagne bottle?!
Answers: I have a bottle of spraking cider that is under pressure. It has a plastic cork that will not budge. I've read other answers to similar questions, and they say to turn the bottle. This seems to just be futile with this type of cork. I'm not strong enough to just pop it off the top. Anyone have any ideas short of breaking the bottle?
? The easiest way to get out a stubborn cork
Put the neck of the bottle under hot water for 10 seconds which makes the glass expand temporarily so you can easily remove the cork
use a screw driver and hammer
Use a corkscrew. It should work, just unscrew it away from your face. And breaking the bottle is not a bad idea either. Use the back dull blunt side of the knife, ( a heavy knife) point the bottle away from you, then diagonally strike the top of the bottle three times. It should come out, and you wont have any glass fragments in it either.
Put a towel over the stopper and twist it out. Go back and forth both ways. Get someone stronger if you can.
Don't use a corkscrew. The contents are under pressure...although cider is not as bubbly as champagne. Still be careful.
Salute!
Push it in...! thats what i had to do one time ...it tasted like wood but whateva, depends how bad you want it.
