How to open wine with a pocket knife
The blade of the knife must be narrow enough to penetrate the bottle neck. If there is no pocket knife, you can use a serrated knife or a regular kitchen knife.
Gently insert the knife into the cork, moving back and forth, gradually pressing on the cork.
When the knife is completely “immersed” in the cork, start twisting the cork left and right while pulling it up. You need to do this slowly and you will succeed.
How to open wine without a corkscrew using a screwdriver, screw and pliers
Anyone who knows how to simply tighten the screw will be able to open a bottle of wine easily and naturally.
Using a screwdriver, screw the screw to the middle of the plug.
Using pliers (pliers), grab the screw and start pulling it out, and with it the cork.
* Instead of a screw, you can use a nail, but you need to drive it at a slight angle.
Of course, tools are needed in this case, and if they don't exist, there are other ways.
How to open a bottle with a screw hook
Whoever has at least one half-loop screw hook left after the repair, then you are in luck. Usually, a screw hook is used for fastening to wooden bases, but in our case it is an excellent replacement for a corkscrew. Such hooks are sold in all building materials stores, and they are quite inexpensive.
Just screw the hook into the cork, which is a bit like the previous method with a screw.
The half-loop will serve as a handle that you can grab hold of to pull the cork out of the bottle.
How to open a bottle without a corkscrew using a lace
Make a strong knot at the end of the lace.
Using any sharp object (awl or screwdriver, for example), push the knot through the cork until it reaches the end and comes out from the back side.
Wrap the rest of the lace around your arm and start pulling.
* If the knot starts to crawl back through the cork, just make it bigger and try again.
How to open a bottle by pushing the cork
Basically, the name says it all. Just say that you can push through the cork using any solid object that fits into the neck, such as a thick marker. At the same time, the bottle must stand on a firm and flat surface.
* When opening the bottle, wine may accidentally splash, which means it's best to open it in the bathroom or sink.
