to think you lot can help me break into my bottle of wine

[Sullabylullaby]

I bought a bottle of wine in Lidl with one of those squidgy, spongey rubbery corks in it. The corkscrew just slides out of it, gaining no traction whatsoever. Tried to shove cork into bottle to no avail. Not a budge on it.
Any ideas oh wise ones?
And if yis tell me to blooming google it lol, I'll need a bottle of vodka not wine!

Many years ago my method at parties/friends homes would be a wooden spoon pushed into it. Used an extra security measure with a tea towel over the top of spoon (for splash back). My friend tried it before going out one night and proceeded to slice her wrist when the bottle broke! Many hours in a&e followed (got a few stitches), but not before she changed into her "going out clothes". Overly optimistic. The only place we went to was the hospital that night. No corkscrew, no wine for me now!

The Lil-let will absorb a lot of the wine and prevent leakage. Also, you don’t really want to have to suck a Lil-let 😟

cardibach Sure, I’m a teacher so always have lots of board pens lying around!

I have used an IV giving set on a couple of occasions (purely in a medical emergency of course).

Nottellingyouthat at the moment I'd be likely to whack the neck of it with a hammer and salvage whatever bit of it remains lol. Reason for that is for another thread.....

I'm most likely to use a combination of the suggestions. I.e. bottle between feet, same knife as initial endeavour, chopping board and hammer. PMSL I can see myself getting injured here.

If that fails, I like the sheer motivation employed with the handle of a teaspoon wiggling it out.

I'm limited by the number of tools at my disposal. I am without lillets, a wooden spoon and an electric drill. But.....

IT. WILL. NOT. DEFEAT. ME.

Ok, I've tried hammer, metal knife, tea-towel over top of knife and the absolute arsehole of a thing might as well be steel. I will stab it to death. Bastard yoke.

At guide camp, we leaders have resorted to a wooden spoon carefully tapped in with a rubber mallet. If that didn't work, carving bits off the cork with a vegetable knife might.
We now use the corkscrew gadget on my adult DD's Swiss Army knife.

NOTE: we never have more than one glass and there is always one leader who doesn't have any so no guides are ever at risk of drunken or even slightly tipsy leaders

Push it in with a mascara tube.

Never fails

Definitely rolling pin and wooden spoon,tested a lot when moving house and the corkscrew isn't in the box you thought!
