Well I know it now!!

I have had good luck with the retrievers. But a new bottle costs $1 (around here anyway), so I don't really want to spend too much time and energy on it. There's also a method using a piece of cloth. Have a look here

There is a video on youtube that shows how to remove a cork from a bottle using a plastic bag. Try this link. If it doesn't work type Removing Cork from Bottle in the search. I did and it was the first video.

Edit: I tried the link and it worked.

Yep the trick with the plastic bag
works great, I tried it myself when I saw this movie a few months ago.

OK thanks

I seem to be having trouble starting threads. I keep getting a message that it needs checked by a moderator. But I never heard anything else so I must be doing something wrong??

 

[Wine4Me]

Never mind SORRY about that.. My message IS there..
Again SORRY!

I tried this & it worked.. I wasn't able to get it the whole way out of the bottle [I guess I am not a very strong female lol] But I got it up to the tip where I could use a wine cork opener to get it out.. Thanks!
