Urgent advice on opening wine

[clam]

Have a bottle here with a stupid rubber cork and the stupid corkscrew just keeps sliding back out of the stupid bottle. It's not that I'm desperate for a drink or anything, but please advise...... in the next 10 minutes?????

you have to pull like mad

and wiggle it about

had to read the title again lol

How stupid! Sorry no other advice, mine comes with a handy tap on the side of the box!

Try knocking the cork back into the bottle using the handle of a wooden spoon and a hammer.
Means you'll have to drink the lot cos you can't re-seal it...........

Do you have another corkscrew? We had one like this that did that but our ones like this seem to work fine.

I hate those plastic type corks- very annoying. Hope you got your wine open in the end .

rubber cork not plastic .

Thanks all!!! And am hugely impressed by Tigerschick rustling up some nice pictures! You're right about the relative merits of the two styles, but the effective one bust - prob through over-use.
Attacked the rim of the cork with a knife in the end, and then wiggled it out. Am 3 glasses along, thank you very much!

Cheers !!!
