I guess if you have no scruples about such techniques, it sure beats not being able to open a bottle of wine, if you have not Screw-pull!! Sorry, I know, I know, couldn’t resist.

I’ll admit, I thought it was going to end with broken glass and spilled wine. Love it!

Brilliant! I’ve mastered opening a beer bottle in the door jam of a hotel room in a pinch, but this… this takes “professional” to new heights. Looks like I’ve finally found a reason to buy Two Buck Chuck – practice!

Fantastic! I spent a couple of summers in Bulgaria, where bottles were opened–just like this–all the time. Except they used a wrapped towel rather than a shoe. I only wish I’d mastered the technique when there!
Cheers!
