  1. your teeth


  2. Everyone has a lot of real good guesses here. There are several ways to do it. Get as large a s***w as you can find, s***w it into the cork, and work it back and forth till the cork starts to come out. Or you can use 2 large nails. Like a prong cork s***w, all you have to do is work the cork out with 2 nails driven in between the cork and the bottle.

    Yes, you can push the cork in, but that is rather uncivilized. I would rather not!

  3. I don't know, but next time you can get a bottle with a s***w top instead.  They are just as good as the corked bottles.

  4. Well, if you have particularly good oral and dental hygiene, you could use your teeth. If your teeth fall out in the attempt, buy a corkscrew - they're not that expensive. And if all else fails, drink Apple Juice. And if you can't get the cap off that, I'm sorry, my friend. YOU ARE A LOST CAUSE!

  5. Push the cork inside

  6. push the cork inside, or get a wood s***w and drive it into the cork, then use pliers to pull it out.

  7. Get a high heel shoe or something else similiar, and push it in. If you can't, it may be because of the air inside. Get something sharp like an ice pick and make a hole in the cork. Then push it in. Presto!

  8. buy a wine with a screwtop.....or buy a corkscrew lol

  9. Ahhh...so many things.  A ripped penny (get a penny, start a cut with a pair of sissors, rip it the rest of the way, then s***w in and pull out); a screwdriver and pilers; a knife, hammer, and pilers; heat the bottle up from the bottom with a lighter (not recommended for safety, but good in a pinch).  Those are the ones that come to mind currently.  

  10. with a screwdriver(or something smaller that the cork) push the cork inside the bottle

  11. if you have a tree in your yard this wld be the best way so as not to get any cork in your wine. First take a towel and fold it into a square then nail it onto the tree or tape it if you dont have nails and hammer. then slowly ue firm but not too hard movements and hit the base of the bottle on the towel. what this will do is create pressure in the bottle forcing the cork out. keep doing this and watching the cork. make sure you take the foily wrapper thing off the cork part fist if its one of those kinda wines

  12. Its not the best thing to do but i have pushed the cork in with a flathead screwdriver. Only on a cheap bottle.
