Cork has broken help

[purpleme12]

What do I do the cork has broken off!!

Get a wooden spoon and use the handle to push the cork into the bottle.

Look

Try again with corkscrew

Try a corkscrew again. You should be able to pull it out.

Put the bottom of the bottle into the heel of a shoe. Firmly bang the heel of the shoe against the doorway.

Or just 😭

Use the corkscrew again. It should just pop out.

I didn't use a corkscrew I don't have one I thought it was one of those ones you just twist but it's not worked 😭 it's been a fucking shit day I don't know when it's going to improve I don't know what to do 😭

Get a pen, insert in the top and tap down hard.
a tip given to me after trying to gouge a cork out .

So you push it down with a wooden spoon into the bottle, then slip your little finger into the top of the bottle and sip a little of the wine until the vacuum shifts and the cork settles into the bottle and you can pour the wine into glass. I have done this many times (not even broken cork just no corkscrew) and guaranteed success!

Ok so your options are:

1. Abandon the plan to drink this tonight and do something else eg sleep / watch tv.
2. Get a sharp knife and try to break the cork into little pieces. This will probably not work and if it does you’ll have bits of cork in the wine (although you can sive them out).
3. Borrow/buy a corkscrew.

It just came to me I got a hammer it broke the top but it worked

Turns out I've cut my hand but the pain feels ok

Force the cork down into the bottom of the bottle
Sieve the wine into a jug/big mug
Carefully pour into your wine glass
Fish out fragments of cork with your finger
Drink wine
Secretly wonder if it was worth the hassle
Decide that it was
Resieve
Repeat
Wake up tomorrow
Buy a wine box
😜

OMG! Are you Jack Monroe?

Hope your hand is OK OP. I would not drink that wine, it could have bits of glass in it. Call it a night.

Yeah, don't drink wine when the bottle has been smashed with a hammer please

I don't know the link between this and Jack Monroe I don't follow her. It's been such a shit day and I'm not thinking right and I don't know what to do anymore

But it's just a little cut don't worry

I read your update OP but for future reference:
Most people have random screws hanging around. Screw one deep into what’s left of the cork and lever it out with the prongs of a fork.

Jack Monroe is a food writer who wrote a dubious tip about using a hammer and a knife to open tins.

OP make yourself a cup of tea or something, please don't drink that wine. It won't make your shit day any better. Get to bed, things might seem better tomorrow.

Cheers!!

Regardless of how bad your day has been please don't drink wine that could have tiny glass shards in! You don't want to go to bed whilst internally bleeding!

A hammer? Is the glass broken? Sieve the wine!!!

What the fuck? I presume this isn't the first bottle today

Only had a glass before this
