Opening red wine is so easy: there is no bottle opener, just a paper clip…
Sometimes, you may find yourself with a bottle of wine, ready to be enjoyed, but without a corkscrew at hand. Don’t worry! There are several clever methods to open a bottle of wine without this utensil.

In the following article, we will explain 3 simple and effective methods that you can use to open a bottle of wine without complications.
Method 1: Towel and wall
This is a surprisingly effective and easy trick to perform. All you will need is a bottle of wine, a thick towel, and a wall. Here is the step-by-step process:

Prepare the bottle: Remove the plastic capsule covering the cork from the bottle.
Use the towel: Fold a thick towel into several layers (if you don’t have a thick towel, you can use folded clothes) and place it at the base of the bottle.
Tap the bottle against the wall: Place the bottle against a wall and, with the towel at the base, gently tap the bottom of the bottle against the wall. Make sure to apply a steady force, not too hard to avoid breaking the bottle, but not too gentle either.
Remove the cork: After a few taps, the cork will start to come out. Once it is far enough away, remove it by hand until it is completely removed.
Method 2: Paperclip.
