Help!

Okay Ladies... I have a question. I just made a recipe that included 1/2 cup of wine. We didn't have a wine bottle opener- so Jon came to the rescue (see below) with a drill and pliers to get the cork out! In the end we still couldn't get the cork out- but made a big enough hole to pour the 1/2 cup needed :). I know the easy answer is to just go buy a bottle opener- but is there another way to uncork a bottle??? :)

Gisele, Here's a site that shows you how to get a cork out without a wine bottle opener. But if you do need a bottle opener we have an extra.

Thanks Julie!! Ha- I just shared this info with Jon and we both agreed that this would have been much easier than using the drill! ha- what I didn't post was I also broke off the tip of a knife while attempting to open the bottle! Ugg
Thanks for the info!

Heh...heh. Scott would've gotten out the surgeon's tools and then dropped the cork into the bottle too. :) I tried to post a comment on your slide show and it wouldn't let me. Maybe I'm just stupid:) Dont respond to that:)
