A bottle of wine if you can't find the corkscrew thingymajig???? :? :?

I've had 2 cans and a bit of cider but now I want more and we've only got bottles of wine in!!!! :-X :-(

dig the cork out with a knife and then pour through a tea strainer/sieve to avoid cork bits getting in glass.

What's the best way to get bits of cork out of wine if you haven't got a Tea Strainer or Sieve???? :? :?

Drink them....they will sharp come out in the morning!!

Place a cloth over the top of the bottle to prevent splashing the push the cork in with a implement that will fit in the top. Not a knife obviously.

I'd just thought that the likelihood of you having tea strainer/seive if you had no corkscrew was limited.

So a tea spoon, a steady eye and a bit of patience, or give your lass the corky glass

After looking for a Corkscrew for over an hour I realised that one of the bottles of wine had a screwtop!!!!

laggy band
glass bowl
petticoat

fasten petticoat to top of bowl with laggy band
slowly pour wine into bowl through petticoat
brush off the cork
return petticoat
find a long straw and taste the brew
option two drink from the bowl

PS....doesn't Dry White Wine taste shite eh!?!? :? :-X

Just topped it up with a touch of Cider and a dash of Apple & Blackcurrant and now....it's just about drinkable!!!!

I've got a laggy band and a glass bowl....but after rifling through our lasses wardrobe and knicker draw....no petticoat!!!! :?

PS....whatever happened to petticoats???? :?

the winos are wearing them

desparate times = desparate measures

Quite the bon viveur, Mutters!

BUT... a cork impregnated turd will float for ever

David O'Leary????

All students know the answer to this. Mr I was correct; you need to push the cork into the bottle. A lipstick is usally best for this!

You could always do a cossack style sabre swipe to open it.

I suspect that the problem was solved a long time ago and said wine is now an integral part of the North Sea........

Yep!!!!
