How to easily open wine with screws? The guests were surprised when I showed them this "trick". Everything is very simple (down with the usual corkscrew)

Have you ever met with a situation where there is no corkscrew at hand, but there is a bottle of delicious wine? There are many ways to open such a bottle with the help of improvised means - a fork, keys, a knife, a hard spring, an eyelash brasmatik, etc. You can also "squeeze out" the cork by heating and cooling the glass. And today I will try to open it in my own way, using building materials.

Once on the Internet I saw instructions on how to pull a cork out of a bottle using one self-tapping screw. But I remember exactly that the first time the person who did it did not succeed. So I'll try to go the other way.

What will be required

In order to open a bottle, we need:

• 2 screws;

• screwdriver;

• pliers.

And, of course, do not forget to please yourself with a delicious drink at the end! A glass will not be superfluous.

Process

We twist two self-tapping screws with a screwdriver into the cork. You don’t need to invent anything - we twist at a right angle, at such a distance that the width of the neck allows. If the cork is soft, and there is no screwdriver at hand, you can even do it with your hands.

We leave the hats at a distance of about 0.5-1 cm from the cork. Or, depending on the length of the screw, drive them into the cork at least 4-5 cm. It is better so that the tips do not completely make a hole in the cork, but remain in it.

Slowly turn with pliers, first in one direction, then in the other direction.

And then just pull the cork up with the tool, swinging it a little from side to side. Gradually, the cork begins to come out of the neck. Self-tapping screws sit perfectly, stay in place, the cork does not crumble and the process goes on.

Results

To be honest, I don’t know which is easier - use a knife or scissors, find a spring or two self-tapping screws. In my case, I will say for sure - it is necessary to apply forces unmeasured. Not every man will quickly open the cork in this way. And it will be even more difficult for women. Although, perhaps, the matter is also in the wine itself, the bottle and the quality of the cork.

But if there is no way out, and you don’t know other ways, try my version. And judging by what I've seen and read, it's better to use exactly two self-tapping screws so that things go easier and faster, and the metal does not turn and crumble the cork. I hope my advice is useful to you someday.
