There is nothing sadder than taking a nice bottle of wine, going home with a frantic desire to drink a glass and find that you do not have a corkscrew.
Or you have invited a special guest, take out the aged bottle of wine and find the same absence. Quite awkward. In such cases, it is good to know the alternatives on how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew.
One of the most applicable methods is to insert the cap into the bottle. To do this, cut the cap horizontally with a sharp and thin knife. Place the bottle on a smooth surface, preferably on the floor.
Choose a suitable long and hard object - a wooden spoon, felt-tip pen or thick pencil and press the cap with it. The tension of the bottle will come out through the slot, and the cap will easily get inside. When pouring, occasionally push the cap in with the long object.
Use a wrench instead of a corkscrew. In fact, the idea of this method is the same as the previous one - pushing the cap into the bottle. However, instead of making an incision so that there is no vacuum, try inserting the key between the neck of the bottle and the cap.
Then everything is the same. However, the method is not the most recommended, as the keys are something quite dirty and can come into contact with the wine.
The wine can also be opened with a winding bolt and pliers. Screw the bolt into the cap with a screwdriver, then remove with pliers. Fast and easy.
One of the most common methods of poisoning a bottle of wine without a corkscrew is undoubtedly the one with the wall. To do this, wrap the bottom of the bottle with a towel and stick a thick book to the wall. Start rhythmically hitting the bottom of the wine bottle in the book. Control your strength so as not to break the bottle.
After a few blows, the cork itself comes out of the created pressure. When it is halfway out, it can now be removed by hand. When removing it, never point the neck of the bottle at yourself or other people.
If you keep hitting, it may come out on its own, but it will also lose a valuable amount of wine. When you open fizzy drinks, such as champagne, after the cork is halfway out, the bottle is set aside for 10-15 minutes and then opened.
Slight heating of the bottom of the bottle can also help to remove the cap. However, it should not be overdone, as it can burst.
