There’s just one time when a bottle of wine causes a problem. I’m talking about when you grab a bottle for a party, only to realize there’s no corkscrew in sight. Unless you have gotten one with a screw top (bless the person who created that pairing), you’re pretty much out of luck, right? Wrong! There are a good half dozen ways to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew. Bonus? They make for pretty awesome party tricks even when you do have a corkscrew handy! So let’s dive in, shall we? Are you brave enough to try number four? Image via sh4rp_i/Flickr So it only stands to reason that a real screw would do the same trick! Grab a screw driver, and drive it into the cork until it’s about 3/4 of the way in, taking care not to crack the cork. Then use the claw part of a hammer to work the screw — and cork — out. What you do is take the bottle and place the bottom in the well of the shoe (where you’d normally place your foot). It’s best to use a flat shoe, like the ones above, rather than a high heel. You want the bottle to sit flat in the shoe. Next, hold the bottle in one hand, the shoe in the other, and bang the shoe’s heel on a wall or other hard surface — my friend used a tree as we were outside — until the cork pops out. Light your torch and point the heat at the neck of the bottle, just below the cork. As the glass heats up, it SHOULD force the cork up … and out. Basically, you bang the cork down into the bottle, then tie a figure 8 knot in one end of some stiff string. Using a pen or slim screwdriver, push the string (knot end first) down the side of the cork until the knot falls below the cork. Pull up on the string, and the cork should come too.
