I leave my corkscrews at work quite often, and have found one surefire way to get that bottle opened.

Using a power drill or regular screwdriver, drive a clean screw through the corkscrew until you have about half an inch sticking out of the top. Then use a wrench or a pair of pliers to wiggle it out.

If you do it correctly, you shouldn't have any bits of cork floating in your wine. If you do end up with that, though, don't worry. It's harmless.

Wrap the bottle with a towel, and hit the bottom of the bottle firmly and evenly against a reasonably flat, vertical surface, like the wall,or a tree. The pressure of the wine against the cork will gradually nudge the cork out.

I have opened one by pushing the cork in with a screwdriver. Then use a chop stick to push the cork up when you pour it. Probably best to decant it if you use this technique. Barefoot wines? I vaguely remember trying that. I'm still here so... *kidding*



My sister-in-law loves barefoot wine but I refuse to buy anything I would consume with someone's foot on the label. Just gross.

Unfortunately, I've tried to open wine sans corkscrew and I don't believe it's possible.



I have used a clean screw to get the cork out. Just screw it in and pull on the screw to get the cork out.



barefoot wines are great...for the price..if worse comes to worse, i use a sharp skinny knife and chip away. Or stab a thicker knife in it and twist as you pull out.
