How to Open a Wine Bottle With a Shoe

Ever been stuck at a party where someone's walked off with the corkscrew and there's a table full of unopened wine? Or perhaps you were 'stuck' as we recently were at winemaker dinner, unable to find a waiter or sommelier, and an industrious pal (Dagan Ministero of Terroir) whipped off his shoe, put the base of the bottle in it, and started slamming it against a brick wall until the cork slid out. The Daily Sip has a demonstration from an intern of this very technique, and we bring it to you today.

  • As bad as this video is, the European one that Henri linked to is much worse and much more muddled. I don't know why Henri thought to link to that video. It's no improvement.

  • BORING ! you should watch the original video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjTGz8flFkM I can't believe someone had to make the american version, just like good european movies being remade in Hollywwod without the sex, the booze and the complicated plot !
