Having a special device in hand, even a fragile girl will open the wine, but what about without it? But there are no hopeless situations, as popular wisdom says! The experience of generations comes to the rescue.
Sharp objects
The easiest but not the best way: pick up the cork with any sharp object. For example, knife, fork, apartment keys, nail file, crochet hook etc.
Of course, the trash will certainly be in the wine, but the taste of the drink will not change. In the end, the wine can be filtered.
Cylinder-shaped items
Also a simple solution, but not always effective: push the cork into the bottle. You can use any solid cylindrical thing. It could be toarandash, the back of the spoon, but you never know in stupid solid objects?
A sheet of office paper rolled up in a tight tube, the contents of a women's cosmetic bag, and even stiletto heel shoes will do!
Important! This is only permissible if the bottleneck is the same width along the entire length. If it narrows down, you have to look for another way.
Lighter
Smokers will help a regular lighter. It is necessary to heat the neck with a flame until the cork is almost half stuck out.
Advice! Things will go faster if you use two or three lighters at the same time.
Knife or scissors
Do you have scissors or a knife with a thin blade? Then the problem will be solved in a couple of minutes! You need to insert a blade into the cork and begin to rotate in one direction, slightly pulling the cork up with each revolution. It is better to choose a knife that has a serrated blade.
Advice! Instead of a knife, the key can easily cope with the task.
Self tapping screw
Why not? He, like a corkscrew, has a screw thread, works on the same principle.
Screwdriver screw inand then with pliers pull it out with the cork.
Nails with a nail puller
A variation on the same theme: nails and a hammer-nail puller. One side of a hammer hammer a few nails in traffic jam so so that they are aligned.
Then the clawed side pry off each nail in turn. They will surely drag a cork.
Important! Nails should be thin and long.
Syringe or bicycle pump
The method of extrusion of a bottle with air “works” perfectly. Will need large volume syringe or pump for bike.
The bottle is wrapped in a towel pierce the cork with a needle through and through pump air through it.
The only drawback is it is not clear when to stop pumping the bottle, as glass may burst under pressure. Together with him, hopes for a pleasant evening will burst.
How to open wine without additional items
The previous methods are certainly good, but not always at hand are items to help out. Really leave the bottle until better times? No matter how! You can uncork even with your bare hands!
Push the cork
Strong man on the shoulder press the cork into the bottle with your finger. The main thing is that he be without manicure.
Knock the cork
For those who are weaker, a different way is suitable: to break the cork.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- wrap the bottom of the bottle with a towel or insert into a men's boot;
- gently tap the bottle on the wall.
Some use thick encyclopedias instead of walls. The main thing here is not to overdo it, otherwise there will be no cork or wine in the bottle.
If you regularly forget about the corkscrew, then over time, a certain dexterity will appear. And it will be possible to open wine for a bet even without a wall or a book, simply tapping the bottle bottom with your palm.
Important! To knock out the cork with your palm, you need to hold the bottle horizontally.
Heat the bottle
How to be the one who does not have the strength, but has the time and patience left? Use school knowledge in physics about gases and their heating! It is necessary to take an ordinary pot, fill it with water, put a bottle and send to the stove.
Warm air will “search” for a way out and find it, but it will also catch a cork for the company. It is clear that this will not happen in a minute. It will take some more time to cool down a fairly warmed wine.
Advice! Girls sometimes do not need any item to open a wine bottle, and a neighbor will do. Well, what is not a reason for dating?
There are many options to open wine without a corkscrew. If you make a little effort and quick wits, then the efforts will certainly be rewarded!
