Nov 4 2009How To: Open A Wine Bottle Sans Corkscrew

Ever needed to open a bottle of wine but didn't have a corkscrew? Apparently all you need a shoe and something rock hard. LIKE MY ASS ABS ASS. Alternatively, break the top off and chug the whole bottle. I mean, unless you're cool being a sissy boy. Trust me, manliest way to drink wine. AND THERE AREN'T MANY.

first. :D

I'm thirsty.

Wow that is a great way to open wine, who needs a corkscrew when you can do this.

I will take note of this for next time (prob tomorrow) as I am rubbish at using corkscrews and snapped many of them trying to open rose! Very inventive!

However I still love Bernard Black's wine ice lolly on Black Books the best :)

im impressed it would have taken a monkey at least a hour

that. is. awesome.

noted.

Much easier to just push the cork into the bottle. Then just chug away with the cork acting as an aerator which works much faster than a traditional decanter.

who in the hell walks around with a bottle of wine on the street & no corkscrew!?

You know what... you'll never see a french dying of thirst with a bottle of wine !!!

I think it's awesome after shaking the hell out of the bottle he then BITES the cork out...

Must have awesome dental plans...

is this from england? i see tramps doing $hit like this all the time over here...
u have to drink a helluva lot of booze to be classed as an alcoholic over here

That is awesome!!! Always love learning little tricks like that!
When you drink real bottles of wine (i.e. Mad Dog 20/20) you don't need a corkscrew because the lid is twist off.

This only applies if you A) drink wine (you go girl) and B) you drink wine from a bottle and not a 4 litre cardboard box.

oim hoime sop sop sop sop

anyways i bet they stole the wine from a corner shop... that's super cool.

And you thought alcohol kills brain cells ;-)

@7 yeah now that is the way to do it, why work on getting it out when you can just push that cork in.

Just like in Demolition Man.

@ om3ga
From England? Are you retarted? They are FRENCH!
They speak FRENCH.

And of course the FRENCH would invent a way to open WINE without a corkscrew.

A fun 'dick move' for all you young tools out there.
When you're buddy is drinking a bottle of beer; firmly, but not too hard, smash the bottom of your bottle on the top of his bottle as he is holding it. This will cause the beer to quickly foam up, and he will be forced to chug it. If he doesn't, simply let him whine about your spilling his beer, take the empty bottle from his bitch hand, and break it over that rock he calls a skull.

@20 You may loose a few beers (and friends) playing this game, but when everyone plays, it gets a lot more fun. And you don't do it all the time, just when someone's not ready for it, or they're taking forever to drink their bottle of beer.

Closet Nerd, you'd only do that once cause after the first time you'd be unconscious on the floor. Never mess with another mans beer (fries)........

color me impressed.

Heather - i am retarded thats why i read this blog daily. but my speakers didn't work and the vid wasnt subbed.

Of course, it's us the French who have invented it. We'll do anything to drink red wine...

Pretty neat looking trick, however the violent shaking will just turn the wine into vinegar - so really after all that effort it just tastes like ass.

French are the best :)

haha! Only ze french....

Dirty frenchies.

I wonder how a stinkin' drunk finds this out.

At first I thought he was just going to smash the bottom of the bottle. What a pissed mess / genius.

You see , then people say the frenchies are useless, they can open bottles without a corkscrew. Way to go france!!! keep on like that, and the world will not laugh at you so much!

Not all that impressed. Drunks are very cunning when they have to be.

@ Closetnerd

This is a dick move and a waste of beer.....still, its pretty funny when it happens to someone else.

@29

Pretty sure that's not how vinegar is made...

@36 its not really a waste of beer if the person chugs it fast enough. it became quite popular and we got pretty wasted in college doing it. the problem is the longer you do, the drunker you get, and the more likely you'll just break one of the bottles.... done that before.

Why is France still in NATO? They don't do shit for their allies except bitch at them.

@20

Everyone and their mother knows that trick.

For us French, it's genetic. We just can't let a bottle unopenned. Nomatter how, we must open it

@4 Black's wine ice lolly is the best lol

Listen to the frenchy laugh @ :46 - tres classic!

haha how did I know these people were French before I clicked on the youtube link?

before I get any smartass repies, I was watching this w/out audio so I had no idea what language they were speaking btw

I'm proud of my country, c'est ça l'identitée nationale

@ 44.
Isn't there someone you should be surrendering to frog boy? Frances flag might as well just be a fcukin white rag, it'd save time for everyone.

@36: we're at war?
Let me guess... Talking this way, you must be American, right?

>_<
