5 tricks to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew
Surely the situation described above has happened to you in a wine tasting that you have organized , and rest assured that it will happen to you again. Therefore, read carefully these 5 tricks to open bottles without a corkscrew!
- With a shoe : with the heel of any shoe you must hold the base of the bottle well. Then tap the sole against the wall. You will see how the cork shoots out!
- With a screw : to carry out this technique you will need a screw. So go to your toolbox and grab the first one you find. Using a screwdriver, insert the screw into the cork. Then, with slow and accurate movements, you will have to remove the nail, which will already be attached to the cork, which will also come out.
- With a hanger : do not use just any hanger, but it must be the kind with wire. When you have it, take the hook from the hanger, stretch it out, and carefully bend the end to form a kind of hook. That will be your temporary corkscrew!
- With a knife : this is the most dangerous technique, so you must be very careful. Choose a knife that is not too large, and insert the blade into the cork. Twist it the way you would twist a corkscrew, and bang! you will have it out in a matter of seconds.
- With a phone book : although this object is becoming obsolete in our society, you will surely find one at the bottom of a drawer. Well, the phone book should be leaning against the wall, and on top you should place the base of the wine bottle and tap it carefully against the wall. In principle, the pressure that will be exerted on the wine should drive the cork. And yes, the phone book is a useful buffer!
