If you suddenly discover that you need a corkscrew to open a bottle of drink and you don't have one, don't despair.

Here are a few life hacks that will help you easily cope with this task using only available tools.

With the keys to the door

You will need a very ordinary bunch of keys.

Insert the pointed end of the key into the plug at a 45 degree angle, then begin to twist the key in the plug, pulling it out towards you.

You need to take a screw and push it into the cork so that 1.5-2 cm remains outside. Now use pliers to grab the head of the screw and remove it from the bottle along with the cork.

Important: Do not try this lifehack on bottles of aged wine. There is a high risk of damaging the cork.

With a fork

To open the bottle, place the fork on the cork at a right angle and push down. Hold the bottle firmly to prevent it from tipping over.

Once the bottle is opened, leave the fork in it to prevent the cork from clogging the neck.

Please note: This method is not safe as the cork may fly out suddenly and cause injury.
