Remove A Cork Stuck Inside A Wine Bottle With A Ribbon

You go to pop open a fresh bottle of wine — maybe you don’t have a proper wine-opening tool — and the cork, or part of it, plummets into the bottle. You’re left with two choices: finish the bottle, or use this handy trick.

In this video from the Hacks World YouTube channel, you’ll learn a clever trick for getting a cork, or piece of cork, out of a wine bottle. Grab a long ribbon, clean it, make a loop, then push the loop into the bottle. Lower the ribbon until the cork moves and the ribbon slips under the cork.

Now carefully pull up on the loop and try to catch the bottom of the cork so you can pull it out. Make sure you have a firm grip on the bottle as you pull out the cork, though, or wine might go everywhere.
