Pretty sure if I had a wine cork retriever on hand that I wouldn't be looking up this video on how get a broken cork out of a bottle, lol. But at least I know such a device exists now I guess.
I see a lot of comments saying this is an useless video but I, as a waiter in a restaurant that doesn't really have a big wine selection and therefore they don't expect their waiters to be on the sommelier level, would say this helped me a lot because now I know we lack the proper tool to extract it and I feel smart for doing the exact same thing at the spot with cork fragments (though we don't really have a fancy decanter but hey I worked with what was avaible), sometimes improvisation is the right call 😅
This happened to me last night as I was trying to open a bottle of rose I spent $18 on. I was getting very frustrated and did not want to get rid of the bottle as I am already a broke 21 year old and spent money on it. I had my dad help me over the phone (I'm still not very experienced with getting corks out). But at first, before calling him I tried to do it myself because I thought I had it this time (this was my third time opening a bottle with a cork, and I was determined to do it by myself this time because after all, I am a big girl. LOL). Only to end up destroying the cork and then that's when I phoned my dad for help on what to do next. Tried to keep using my corkscrew, only ended up destroying the cork more in the process. Luckily the cork was still (mostly) in one piece, just demolished at the top. So then I resorted to finding other items around the kitchen that I could use to push the cork in (ends of silverware, etc). Most items ended up being a little too wide so they would just hit the side of the bottle and not go any further. However I was still determined so I persevered and ended up successfully pushing the cork in with the end of an oil brush. I was very happy that I finally got that thing open, and definitely needed a glass of wine after that frustration LOL. That's my story about opening a wine bottle, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk :)
ok what do you do if the opener makes a straight hole through the cork (maybe its plastic?) and when you pull up, the opener just comes right back up through the thin hole!
bonehead0816 I'm sorry, that was taught to my head all along, and I never cared to even see the difference: www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS704US704&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=kissan%20jam This is the mixed fruit "jam" I'm referring to. It really don't have any pieces of fruit, in this flavor.
Did not work for me with a 22 year old bottle of wine. It juts broke up the cork more and it crumbled more etc. I got it out slowly by breaking it up with pointed meat thermometers. And pullong it out bit by bit. The last part fell in and Islowly slide it out the same way. There was a lot of cork in the wine, so I tried straining it through a coffee filter, but the coffee filter fell into the wine glass with all of the cork, and it took forever to straighten through so I don’t recommend either of these methods. Not for the situation I had anyway, I guess a 20-year-old cork can deteriorate a lot. I have a very good wine bottle opener, so I thought it would be OK. The wine tastes, awful too, too much tannin. I have never understood why people leave bottles of wine around for so long.
Could you please help me about opening aged wines? Because sometimes their corkage might be so soft and when you touch it gently, it immediately goes in. Only option i have is pouring it in a carafe but is there any way to open it in a normal way?
Little late, but maybe still helps. There is a wine opener called an „ah-so“, it doesn’t have a screw but two prongs that go around the cork and remove it in it‘s entirety
I had a corkscrew just like that a week ago. But me, having never opened a bottle of wine before, I thought I was supposed to screw the corkscrew in, and use brute force to pull it out. (There were no instructions with my corkscrew, and nobody in my family ever drank wine in front of me, so who knows how they got the cork out?) The corkscrew broke. Then I got an air pump sort of cork remover, but it didn't work. I'm stuck with a bottle of wine I can't open to save my life.
I keep trying to Google how to get a broken cork screw that stuck in my court in my bottle of wine. But it keeps taking me to how to get a broken cork I don't have a broken cork I have a broken corkscrew stuck in the cork in my bottle. How this had happened is I was looking for a corkscrew in my mother's kitchen but she does not own corkscrew then I finally remembered on my Swiss army knife there was a little corkscrew on that so, I grab that and start screwing it into the cork mind you it's not very long in size. As I start pulling it up that sucker wouldn't budge until all of a sudden the corkscrew breaks off into the cork from my knife. I tried using pliers but it still wouldn't budge. Help!!!! Plz
You aren't telling people how you actually did it. You didnt go through the center. You put the corkscrew closer to the side, which *is* one good way to remove a broken cork.
The centre has come out of my cork but it is still in the neck of the bottle. How would I save that? Also. I have no coffee filters (I drink pod coffee) I guess we could use my baby's muslin Guess I could talk my wife round to letting me use one ofthose
Wow thank you for this utterly useless video, awesome. I do not have that device nor do I have a coffee filter but I still have a stuck cork. Very nice job, guys, thanks 👌🏻
YEAH. YEAH! HOW ABOUT I INSERT ANOTHER RAGE AND SPITE-FILLED ALL-CAPS COMMENT TO DRIVE THE POINT HOME. . . . . . . . . . . . CORK WILL ALSO BECOME EXTINCT.

Exactly what I was thinking. Useless video really.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for saving me time…5yrs later 😭
please teach me how to save myself from wine? thanks
Lmao let me know when you're sorted out
😂😂😂

Yeah I ended up just pushing it in and pouring the whole bottle in a large glass, cork is chewy
This helped some. There was still some tiny cork pieces that went into the bottle. But I used a strainer before pouring it into a glass.
Such great information. The use of cheese cloth saved my beautiful wine. Many thanks 🎉
It worked, thanks so much! Plus I learned after 35 years I've been using the corkscrew wrong.
Awesome tips!
thanks, Cap
You saved me thankful for your help
Thank you!
ok what do you do if the opener makes a straight hole through the cork (maybe its plastic?) and when you pull up, the opener just comes right back up through the thin hole!
Rescued my bottle without pushing it in. Thanks! 🙌
Thanks Mr. Capielo 😁
I just drink the cork bitties, adds flavour!
this helped me a lot, thanks!.
Thank you. I am trying to educate myself and really thought I had ruined the bottle of wine
Real men just drink it with bits of cork in. RAHHHH.
No but seriously the coffee filter idea is a good one.
well, I once broke a glass jar with full jam, and to get the glass pieces, carefully, I boiled all the jam and filtered through the coffee filter.
what did you do with all the fruit pieces in the jam, those wont go through a coffee filter
bonehead0816 this model/flavor doesn't have pieces of fruit in them, it is just plain paste.
I know you're right, but that would be jelly not jam then. jam has fruit in it, jelly is just the jellied fruit juice.

Yessir thanks man

A little late but if it happens again, push the cork in with a marker and then strain it with a coffee filter.
After opening successfully 300bottles in a row...301st always brakes in 25pieces and of corse neither cheesecloth or coffee filter is nowhere around!
Thanks this saved me from a chaotic mishap.
Great tip! May I assume this also goes for whisky bottles?
What if it dissolves?
I keep trying to Google how to get a broken cork screw that stuck in my court in my bottle of wine. But it keeps taking me to how to get a broken cork I don't have a broken cork I have a broken corkscrew stuck in the cork in my bottle.

As I start pulling it up that sucker wouldn't budge until all of a sudden the corkscrew breaks off into the cork from my knife. I tried using pliers but it still wouldn't budge. Help!!!! Plz
What happened if the wood goes in the drink ?
I broke the cork oh shit Im dead
Obviously if i had tools i wouldn’t be here.
I have top of the cork broken 😭😭😭
You aren't telling people how you actually did it. You didnt go through the center. You put the corkscrew closer to the side, which *is* one good way to remove a broken cork.
i pulled too hard and the screw came off with bits of cork pretty sure im fucked
Mine broke and fell in, depression simulator
The centre has come out of my cork but it is still in the neck of the bottle. How would I save that? Also. I have no coffee filters (I drink pod coffee) I guess we could use my baby's muslin
Guess I could talk my wife round to letting me use one ofthose
Almost fucked up. Thank you
watching this now cause I got the cork stucked inside
Doesn't work at all if it's superstuck in there.
I'm never fucking buying a corked bottle ever again.
It's time to advance.
Ahhh, why didn't I think of a... CHEESE CLOTH?!??
🤦👏👏👏👏👏🤗😁🙌Thank you😘👍🏻
I'm a teetotaller and I'm watching this, why?

Wow thank you for this utterly useless video, awesome. I do not have that device nor do I have a coffee filter but I still have a stuck cork. Very nice job, guys, thanks 👌🏻

Thank God for Google
Stella Rosa has the worst fucking corks in existence. I ALWAYS have issues opening their corks, never any problems with any other brand.
I’m fucked
Bruh who tf has that device
