Libra: Hmm, might be too close to TaiyoTsuki's, but I'd get a knife and slide it between the bottle and cork, then twist to get the cork out.

... Or I'd just push the cork down into the bottle. If it's a decent quality cork it shouldn't break up in the wine.

I like fruits too, but veggies are my favorites.


Libra: Well, we used a screw and a hammer. We screwed the screw into the top of the cork, and then you use the claw of the hammer to pry out the cork/screw combo. It is way harder than it sounds.

Veggies are good too. I looked at the ingredients on the v8 I drink. There is no sugars, glucose, fructose, or other sugar. Not even that fructose corn syrups not in it either.

The blue pomegranate is good but has a nasty after taste like veggies and the peach mango is my favorite, it didn't have food coloring either

True facts. It is so yummy. I hate the Acai one though. But then I think Acai berries taste like dirt and mothballs. And it doesn't have any health benefits that blueberries don't already have. And blueberries actually taste good.

I don't know why it has such a terrible after taste. maybe it's a vegi in it.

Not the answer I'm looking for. Though I did change the wording of the question so that the answer will make more sense. Don't forget to ping me to your answer next time, I might've missed it if Wyrm didn't mention your answer in hers xD

Not quite the answer I am looking for. I remember when I tried it, it didn't work out so good xD

Ugg, that does not sound fun. But essentially not the answer I'm looking for.

Libra: I guess technically you could use something to score around the neck of the bottle, and then rap it against something to get a clean break. I'd be a little wary about shards of glass in my wine, though.

Yeah, anything that would possibly put shards in the wine is not the correct answer (so breaking the bottle open is not the answer either guys xD)

@Foxy: Lord only knows.

Libra: Haha, it was a...special...night. Also, couldn't you just buy a glass of the same wine?

@Wyrm: Oh gosh yes, that would make me a little wary.

You mean like at a restaurant? Haha, nah, this specific method takes less time then going to a restaurant (I imagine, I haven't tried the method yet though).

Libra: Ice pick through the cork and then just pour it out via the remaining hole?

You'd probably wanna ice pick it twice in order to get anything out in a reasonable amount of time.

That isn't the easiest method. You all are gonna face-palm when the answer finally arises xD

Haha, well, it's not the answer then. But it's pretty cool if it works. You put a tennis shoe against a hard wall, and knock the bottle into the shoe. The cork is supposed to come out because of the wine molecule simultaneously pushing against it.

Hm... doublechecked, it does specifically say 'cork'. Even though lots of wine these days has twist off caps instead. :P

@Steel: That actually looks like it would work better than the trick the answer is. I might just have to reward you 1 point no matter what for that xD

This one is quite difficult... I don't think I've ever been without a corkscrew. We keep one in our toiletry kit for travelling, and even if we don't have that I always have my multi-tool... given how long it's taking us all to figure out the answer, I think the quickest way to get that bottle open would be driving to the darned store and picking up a corkscrew!
