Opening wine bottles in the field

[JonathanD]

Saw this on BB and thought it worth posting here. No doubt a few people have been caught without their SAKs and with wine bottle. Here's a simple yet genius way of sorting it out.

Wow.
That is clever

 

[Shewie]

That's clever, must remember not to try it over the axminster though

We once took a case of wine to a festival and forgot the bottle opener, we ended up just braying the corks back into the bottle with a tent peg. It was a good excuse to finish every bottle once it was opened.

Excellent!This will come in handy for my next bottle of Blue nun.

 

[BushEd]

brilliant!!!!!

 

[Zingmo]

Damn! Just checked the rack and they're all screw-tops!

Pah! No namby-pamby French shoe tricks for me, this is the way I do it...

Happy trails...torc.

I use the Bear Grylls method - just bite the top of the bottle off with my teeth and chew on the glass

 

[R.Lewis]

And don't forget to boil the cork up for a tasty soup...

I love that shoe thing & must give that a go some time. It makes you wonder how drunk the guy who thought of it must have been to come up with that one... I have done the 'push the cork in' method many a time & have seen corks pulled out with pliers after a suitable wood screw has been put into it.

Cool trick though!

Hehe, sometimes you just don't have time to transfer it to a platypus.

I think that saberage is the way to go! Unfortunately, i dont't usually carry my sabre in the bush so this way wil have to do

 

[Bush_Man]

That's seems a good idea. The only method that I knew before was to pull the cork with a string...

 

[sxmolloy]

The fact that the person in the video is opening a bottle of red wine and wearing a white jumper is testiment to the fact that they were exremely confident it would work without the contents splashing all over !!

 

[JonathanD]

It does work really well. Unfortunately I now have black heel marks on the wall which I had to cover with the back of a chair before the missus sees it. Must sort that out when I get back.

Absolutely, it is an essential skill I have been lacking for too long

 

[Matt.S]

I wonder if saberage can be successfully transferred to macheteage, leukuage or billhookage?
