You were sitting at your computer and it didn’t occur to you to look online for a solution BEFORE you started trying to open it? Priceless.

Well, had I looked it up I wouldn’t have had a story to tell

I like to use a drill to open my wine instead of a proper corkscrew, possibly because I watched Home Improvement at a formative age. Everything is better with power tools!

If you are a male human you surely have a cordless drill, right?

Alas…

The push-the-cork-into-the-bottle method, in my experience only works if you vent the cork first.

A drywall screw and a pair of vise-grips usually works pretty well as a makeshift corkscrew.

Well fuck. How was I going to get this cork out of this bottle? I peeled off the foil around the neck of the bottle, and I could see that I was dealing with a rather long cork. If it had a flange at one end, I could probably add it to my collection of butt plugs.

Sparkling wines are a much better source of flanged corks. Y’know, for next year.

I sent the link for this thread for my sister to enjoy. I thought she was out of town, but it turns out she’s leaving tomorrow. She stopped by my apartment today and gave me a nice corkscrew

I once tried to inject air with a needle and syringe to push the cork out and found out that the easiest thing is to insert the needle all the way through the cork and then aspirate the wine into a 60 cc syringe. You can then inject it directly into the glass (or, I suppose, your veins). As a bonus, if you use a small enough needle you don’t have to recork the bottle!

Aw hell, I’m going to do this just for shits and giggles next time I’m at a party!

Who needs a sword when you have a spoon?

See if you can get anIV kit and figure out how to hang the bottle

[Digital_is_the_new_Analog]

So I didn’t need to order that sword?
