10 Wine Bottle Hacks For When You Don’t Have a Wine Opener


Realizing you don’t have a wine opener after spending the whole day dreaming about cracking open that bottle of vino is one of the worst feelings in the world (okay, at least top five). Luckily, you don’t have to let a little thing like a missing corkscrew come between you and that Olivia Pope-approved glass of goodness. That’s because the geniuses at Food Beast have compiled 10 foolproof ways to uncork your bottle sans corkscrew. The guys show you how to use everything from nails and a hammer to a shoe and a wall (and some aggressive pounding) to pop out that cork.  Plus, the video includes some fun facts about wine that you can use to entertain your guests (or yourself) with while they patiently wait for you to pry open the bottle.

While we don’t recommend the blowtorch method, which just sounds silly and a wee bit dangerous, the others are pretty smart, right? For more food and cooking hacks, check out these articles:
