Clever sellers came up with the idea of selling wine with a corkscrew, while others went even further and began using corks that could be opened without a corkscrew.

If these stories are not about you and the beginning of the celebrations is hindered by such a trifle as a forgotten corkscrew, you can do without it.

After all, you can open a bottle of wine with anything.

1. Self-tapping screw

You can literally screw a screw into a soft cork with your bare hands. The head should stick out above the base of the cork by about 2 cm.

Wrap it in a handkerchief and pull. The cork will come out without any problems.

2. Knife

Insert a knife into the plug and turn it with the blade. The same manipulation can be done with a door lock key and any flat tool.

3. Towel

You will need strength and a quick reaction. Wrap the bottom of the bottle in a towel and hit it with your palm. The movements should be sharp and strong, but there is a risk of damaging or even dropping the bottle.

4. With a pencil and even a heel

When you can't get the cork out, don't create additional difficulties. It has been noticed that it is always easier to push it in than to pull it out.

This can be done with a pencil, a pen, a heel or any other narrow and hard object.
