Two safe and unconventional methods for opening bottles are introduced:
First, cut the bottle cap, spread a piece of cloth on the wall, hold the bottle in your hand, gently hit the cloth on the wall with the bottom of the bottle, and the cork will slowly push outward. When it reaches half, put the bottle on the table, and slowly pull out the cork after the bubbles disappear.
second, cut the bottle cap, clean the bottle mouth and cork, and slowly squeeze the cork in the opposite direction, that is, press it into the bottle. The bottle will never burst, because red wine is different from other carbonated drinks, and the red wine bottle is specially treated and will not burst because of the pressure you apply. However, we should pay attention to it, not too hard, and slowly squeeze into it to prevent accidents.
The above is only an emergency method. It is better to use a professional bottle opener and open it in the correct way. Generally speaking, the standard bottle opening method is:
Step 1: First, cut the rubber cap of the bottle opening with a knife along the circular protruding part of the bottle opening, and pay attention to changing hands. Don't turn the bottle. If it is old wine, there will be normal precipitation at the bottom of the bottle, and turning the bottle will make the precipitation float. Be very careful when handling tin bottle caps. It often leaves a razor-sharp edge, and it is inconvenient for your hands to accidentally touch it. Wine produced in some countries will have an opening tape at the bottle mouth, so it's simple. Just tear the sealing tape.
step 2: remove the dust from the bottle mouth with a table cloth. If you find mold on the top of the cork, don't be nervous. It's normal to have a little mold ash. You can't say that the wine is broken. Just wipe the bottleneck with a clean cloth. If it's an old bottle covered with lead, you should be especially careful, because a small amount of leaked wine will react with lead to produce toxic leadsalts.
step 3: pay attention to insert the tip of the auger into the middle of the cork (if it is inserted on the side, it will easily cause the cork to break or wood fragments fall into the wine), and then drill into the cork clockwise. If you use a butterfly-shaped wine screwdriver, when the screwdriver goes in, the handles on both sides will rise. When you reach the top, press the two handles down at the same time and the cork will come out. If you use a professional "waiter's friend" screwdriver, be careful not to drill all the auger into the cork, but leave a ring, because drilling all the way to the end will drop cork fragments into the wine. After drilling into the cork, put the metal fulcrum on the bottle mouth, hold the bottle shoulder in one hand and the screwdriver handle in the other, lift it and the cork will be lifted. If it is a long cork, you can drill into a ring when you are halfway up and then lift it.
Step 4: Wipe the bottle mouth with a tablecloth after getting up, and pour out about 3 ml to test the wine, so as to determine whether the wine is normal or not. If you are in a restaurant, you should try it on the guests first, and you need to put the pulled cork on a small dish and hand it to the guests. If it is old wine, you need to change the bottle in advance, otherwise the wine residue will be poured into the glass, which will affect the enjoyment.
