If anyone forgets the corkscrew.....
would this work http://www.wimp.com/wineshoe
It's a video of someone removing a cork from a wine bottle using a shoe. The cork comes out of the bottle but I don't see how - although I'm not the world's greatest physicist, of course :-) IMHO the cork, if it moves at all, should go inside the bottle because (and this is the bit that justifies it being in a DIY group) it would seem to be the same principle as putting a hammer head on a shaft, ie, shaft and head travelling downwards, shaft stops, head carries on downwards and fits snugly on shaft. Wine bottle and cork travelling in same direction, bottle stops, cork should continue same way as the bottle, not go in the opposite direction - shouldn't it? |
