How to open a bottle of wine with a piece of string

Step 1. tear off the cork covering

Step 2. push the cork into the bottle

Use a pen or a bolt and push slowly so you don’t spill any wine.

Step 3. tie a stopper knot in your piece of string

A stiff piece of string is ideal, but any piece will do. If you use soft string, you’ll have to do more work on the next step. A figure 8 knot works best, but you could use an overhand knot.

Step 4. Slide the knot end of string down the side of the cork

This can be tricky. Push the string down the inside of the bottle until the knot is below the bottom of the cork. You may need to use a pen to assist.

Step 5 Carefully pull the string and cork into the neck of the bottle

Pull the cork and string up until the cork is stuck in the mouth of the bottle and the knot is below the bottom of the cork.

Step 6 Pull the cork out!

Step 7 Boast, toast, drink and enjoy...

Drink responsibly + stay thankful!
