this may be taboo....but if you are planning to drink the whole bottle, you could try to push it in???
or find a sharp of scissors and force it in an inch or so, then jsut twist while gently trying to pull it out


edit, are you enjoying it with your secretary??? :ph34r:

with a little ingenuity, you can turn a wire coat hanger into a corkscrew!

My next bright idea was to find a glass cutter & coffee filter.. knock the top off, strain out the glass fragments.

MacGuyver is proud for sure.

Next time, try to GENTLY bang the bottle bottom against a wall. The air pressure inside will eventually move the cork out. Key word is gently

This works.. you can use a towel (or shirt or jacket) to pad against the wall.

Thanks fellas. It was a 150.00 bottle of wine. I wasn't about to push the cork into it.

It's all good now!
