How to Open a Wine Bottle
There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to enjoy a bottle of wine and not being able to open it because you cannot find the wine bottle opener. Many people have no idea that there are other ways to open a bottle of wine without using an opener.
How to Open a Wine Bottle
Wrap the bottom of the wine bottle with a towel.
Hit the bottom of the bottle firmly and evenly against a flat vertical surface such as a wall. The pressure of the wine against the cork will gradually push the cork out.
Once the cork in the bottle is partially sticking up, you can pull it out with your hand or a pair of pliers. You may also just continue to hit the bottom of the bottle until the entire cork comes out.
If you are opening a carbonated beverage let the bottle sit for 10 to 15 minutes before pulling the cork completely out.
