You can also try to remove the cork using the following methods. Work as carefully as possible to prevent the cork from splitting. Also, make sure that any tools that come into contact with the cork are clean, as dirty tools can contaminate the wine.

(1) pliers + screws

1. Take out a screw and a pair of pliers.

2. Drive part of the screw into the cork and leave the other part outside.

3. Use pliers to tighten the screw and pull out together with the cork.

(2) Knife bottle opening method

1. Use a fruit knife, or a serrated knife.

Note: The blade should not be too wide or too narrow, just enough to dig into the cork without cutting the edge of the cork.

2. Insert the blade into the center of the cork to avoid scratching the edge. Hold the bottle neck with one hand and slowly turn the handle to drive the cork to turn together; the force should not be too strong when turning. Then slowly lift the handle upwards and slowly pull out the cork.

(3) Hook bottle opening method

1. Find a hook or thin wire.

2. Use pliers to adjust the angle of the hook or wire appropriately.

3. Extend the hook from the side of the cork into the bottle, rotate the hook and hook the cork, and drag it out.

Note: It is best to wear a pair of gloves when operating to avoid the hook from scratching your fingers.
