The secret to opening a bottle of wine without a corkscrew

If the shoe fits…use it to open your wine bottle.

For wine aficionados lacking a corkscrew – or jokers looking for a new party trick – comes the latest innovation sure to blow your top off.

Stephen Cronk from Mirabeau Wine in Provence has released a new video which shows how to open a bottle of vino without a corkscrew. All you need is a shoe, a wall and a thirst for the grape.

First, you have to remove the protective foil – or ‘capsule’ – covering the top of the bottle.

Then you place the bottom of the glassware snugly inside a shoe, preferably footwear a rubber sole to absorb the shock of the ensuing slam.

Gripping the bottle and shoe, bang the sole against a wall or tree several times until the cork eases out of the bottle. Then all you have to do is pour.

But how does it work? io9.com describes the process of ‘cavitation’ this way:

‘The bubble of air at the top of the bottle moves to the bottom of the bottle as it gets accelerated backwards. The sudden, hard strike of the bottle against the wall compresses the bubble of air.

‘One side of it is being pushed against the glass, the other side has the wine pressing against it.

‘The inside volume of the bottle stays the same size, but suddenly the volume of the air bubble plus the volume of the wine is smaller.

‘Once the wine has hit the wall and rebounded, the bubbles that have just been created are pushed up against the cork. They burst and push the wine cork up and out of the bottle.’

Apparently the uncouth move is popular amongst restauranteurs and sommeliers.
