Get a wine cork out of a bottle
How can you get a wine cork out of a bottle without breaking it? Viddler entr200 has shared a video with us explaining just that.
I would have never guessed that this would work. Now I’ll know for the next time I try really, really hard to get a cork into a wine bottle!

July 17, 2007 - 11:43 amNeat trick…but, really, what's the point of getting the cork out of an empty bottle? This trick wouldn't work on a mostly full bottle of wine, which is when most people would want to remove a cork that has fallen in and could potentially ruin the wine. I imagine it would be a pretty messy attempt.

Claro que retirar a rolha da garrafa depois de beber todo o vinho só serve se for usar a garrafa, ou, como eu, você faz coleção das rolhas!
Realmente digno do MacGyver, não é?

July 13, 2009 - 9:14 pmI think it might work with a partially full bottle as the cork will already be close enough to the top for the bag to grab it. Worth trying certainly in spite of a little mess.

November 20, 2009 - 12:40 pmgee whiz fellows!
this excellent trick works with any bottle, full or empty. c'mon!
if it's full, just turn the bottle on its side and pour out some liquid in a cup to make room.
you don't need to fit a huge bag in there.
a small balloon could work too.
thx entr200

April 1, 2010 - 7:00 pmHi, I have a green glass container that was corked for years but when I went to use it, the cork fell into the bottle with my attempt to get it out. I went online to get some tips on getting it out. When I came across this tip, However I had already put water in the container (don't ask why) and when I went to perform this trick, I poured the water out and the cork rose all the way to the top and positioned itself into the opening so much so that I was able to pull it out easily. So I didn't get to use the bag trick. But that cork is gone. Go figure.

May 1, 2011 - 12:28 amThis trick is amazing! I had dropped a cork into the bottle of wine I had just purchased, ans I had tried everything to get it out. I found this after I had given up for the night. HOLY COW! Took my less than 5 mins! I'd recommend this to anyone!
