skydiverton 0 #26 February 23, 2005 QuoteI BROKE my corkscrew off in my cork. Anyone know a trick to pushing the cork down? Sound you have a drinking problem. You can not reach the alcohol Well sometimes life is not that easy ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habit, Especially when you are jumping a sport rig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #27 February 23, 2005 If you repeatedly smack the bottom of the bottle with a shoe the cork works it's way out. Sound's unbelievable I know, but I've done it myself a couple of times - it really works... although it can take a few minutes of patting... all depends on how much you want a drink of wine see. This solution also works if you’re caught somewhere without a corkscrew at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base283 0 #28 February 23, 2005 attached is a cool method shown to me by a rigger, but it´s for removing the cork that´s in the bottle. I´ve used this method many times in the wild. Take a clean dacron line, tie at least 3 figure 8 knots in it 3" apart. Stuff the 3 knots in the bottle alongside the cork and past. Pull the Dacron line. The top knot will pull the cork into the neck, the middle knot will catch the bottom edge of the cork and the last not acts as a reserve knot in case the middle slips. Voila!! Out comes the cork. try it! take care, space Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #29 February 23, 2005 Wow . . . I had no idea there were so may tricks available. Maybe I acted in haste by buying another bottle of wine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #30 February 23, 2005 QuoteI was in Napa about a month ago and the reason they are going to a screw top or synthetic cork is due to cork taint. Even more unbelievable (and this one I don't think you'll see the higher end wineries even considering) is that the ideal vessels for the wine are the boxes that cheap wine comes in. Airtight and the wine can be drained without allowing air. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #33 February 23, 2005 Look at it this way, you still have that other bottle of wine... and you can now, get to the contents! It's all good! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #34 February 23, 2005 That's true. I didn't throw it out or anything. And I only made it through half of the other bottle I bought last night, so I've got about 3 more nights worth of wine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airtight and the wine can be drained without allowing air. There way around that one is selling cans of inert gasses to spray into the bottle before re-closing. I think I'll just finish off my bottle in one night then air isn't an issue. Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
