The humble cork<\/strong> is perhaps one of the most endearing feature of the wine bottle. While many bottles come with screwcaps in the modern age, Italian wines<\/a> that hope to emit a classier image<\/strong> tend to stick with corks.<\/p>\n

There are certain benefits<\/strong> to cork as well. It\u2019s a completely natural material<\/strong>, which means that it\u2019s the closure of choice for organic wines. Plus, it has a flexibility to it that screwcaps don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

On top of that, cork is completely biodegradable and recyclable<\/strong>. As a result, cork closures don\u2019t cause anywhere near as much environmental damage as screwcaps and synthetic closures. Couple that with how growing cork promotes diversity in natural areas and you have plenty of reasons for why cork is a great closure choice.<\/p>\n

But none of these may matter much to you if you end up in the nightmare situation<\/strong> of wanting to uncork an amazing bottle of Italian wine, but you don\u2019t have a corkscrew<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this lack of convenience<\/strong> is one of the major downfalls of corks, and could be the reason why you\u2019re not sat drinking a glass of wine with this article right now.<\/p>\n

A solution that doesn\u2019t require a corkscrew would be perfect for you right about now.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, that\u2019s exactly what the team at Xtrawine<\/strong> <\/a>are going to provide. In fact, we\u2019re going to offer five techniques<\/strong> that you can use to uncork a bottle of wine without a corkscrew.<\/p>\n

Technique #1 \u2013 Break Out the Tools<\/h2>\n

If you have a tool box to hand, then you can create a makeshift corkscrew<\/strong> out of a variety of tools. You\u2019ll need a screw that\u2019s long enough to bed into the cork without being so long that it breaks through. You also need a screwdriver and a hammer.<\/p>\n

Use the screwdriver to insert the screw<\/strong> into the cork. Be careful not to screw in too far, else you may break some of the cork off into the wine. However, the screw also needs to be deep enough for the next step.<\/p>\n

With the screw inserted, wrap the claw of the hammer around the screw and pull<\/strong>. Consistent pressure should see the cork come out, though it will take a little effort.<\/p>\n

Technique #2 \u2013 Use Your Hands<\/h2>\n

This isn\u2019t a technique that you can use for every type of Italian wine<\/a>. In fact, using your hands to unscrew the cork of a still wine generally doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

However, things change a little if you have a sparkling wine. The pressure inside the bottle will help you<\/strong> to release the cork.<\/p>\n

Use consistent and gentle pressure to unscrew the cork by hand. You may want to use a towel to get a better grip<\/strong>. Don\u2019t pull too hard though, else the cork will pop out too quickly and could cause some damage.<\/p>\n

The consistent pressure should release the cork with a pop. Again, this only really works with sparkling wines<\/strong>. You\u2019ll have to use one of the other methods on this list for still wines.<\/p>\n

Technique #3 \u2013 Push It In<\/h2>\n

This is only a technique that you should use when you\u2019re opening a bottle of wine that you\u2019re not worried about affecting the quality<\/strong> of. Furthermore, you should avoid this method if it\u2019s an older bottle<\/strong>, as the cork may break under the pressure.<\/p>\n

Simply take a wooden spoon and hold it so that the handle points outwards. Rest the handle on top of the cork and apply pressure to push the cork inwards.<\/p>\n

This method has plenty of disadvantages<\/strong> though. The cork enters the wine, which immediately changes its complexion. Plus, you can\u2019t get the cork back out of the bottle. This means you\u2019ll need to drink the wine during the course of the evening if it\u2019s to maintain any of its quality.<\/p>\n

Technique #4 \u2013 Wrap and Smack<\/h2>\n

This is a bit more of a brute force technique<\/strong>. It still requires care<\/strong> on your part, as going too hard could result in the bottle shattering<\/strong>. Not only do you lose the wine, but there\u2019s also a chance that you cause yourself an injury.<\/p>\n

Wrap the bottle in a thick towel<\/strong> \u2013 or two if you\u2019re a little more cautious \u2013 and hold it firmly.<\/p>\n

Now, hit the base of the bottle against a wall<\/strong>. The key here is that you should not use your full strength. Instead, you\u2019re using a lot of small taps to gradually work the cork out of the bottle.<\/p>\n

With a little time and effort, the cork will eventually come free. Of course, this method comes with its risks, so it\u2019s a last resort<\/strong> for the truly desperate.<\/p>\n

Technique #5 \u2013 The Bike Pump Method<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a cyclist or sportsperson, you may have a bicycle or football pump<\/strong> lying around the house.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019re in luck. You can use the pump to eject the cork from the bottle.<\/p>\n

To do this, the pump needs to have a needle<\/strong> attached that you can plunge into the cork<\/strong>. It also needs to be long enough to go all of the way through the cork, so that the end of the needle actually reaches the air below the cork<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After that, you just slowly pump air into the bottle. Each pump should push the cork upwards slightly, until it eventually comes out of the bottle. Of course, you\u2019re also pumping air into the wine, which could change its complexion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Final Word<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no getting around the fact that none of these methods are as effective as using a corkscrew<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some require you to get rather physical with your bottle of wine, and most could lead to you changing the complexion of the wine<\/strong>, either through shaking, pushing the cork into the wine, or pumping air into it.<\/p>\n

As a result, these aren\u2019t recommended as the methods that you should always use to open a bottle of Italian wine<\/a>. Instead, they\u2019re good in a pinch if you need to open a bottle and don\u2019t have a corkscrew handy. Just take care<\/strong> when using them and you should be fine.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
