Opening a bottle of wine without a corkscrew

 The clip is in French, but interesting to watch none the less.

I prefer to take a saber and slice off the top of the neck of the bottle.

I wonder who the Wino was that figured that out!!

Talk about Bottle Shock!

Neat trick to know, thanks DawnT

wow....that's wild...anyone test that at home?????

Doesn't work with beer, just tried it.  Foam all over the place.

Your bottles of beer are corked?

I don't think this would work with the Bubbly stuff like Champagne! Unless you wanted to kill someone with a flying cork!

In fact, using a saber to slice off the neck of a bottle of Champagne is a fine way to pour something nice to drink with your sevruga.

You don't need a corkscrew with champagne anyway.

You just used the wrong video site.  The "How to Open a bottle of Champaign with a Sword" website has another video titled  "How to Open Beer with a Napkin":

This is true, however, I'd like to see it attempted just once to see what happens. Maybe we could get the Swashbuckler, Mr. Hofmann, to do a video of him making the attempt!

The shoe one is genius.
I also heard you can do the same thing by whacking the bottom of the bottle against a tree. The vibrations of the tree help the cork come out, and you don't have to worry about ruining your walls. Anyone know if there is a video of that?

Nice - looks like the shoe works better though

Works only with French wine?????????????

Being a drummer I always have drumsticks around me, not that many corkscrews.  If I found myself without a corkscrew I would take one of my thinner drumsticks and push the cork SLOWLY down the neck.  After a few times you can do this without any wine comeing up the neck and spilling.  The only negative is you have the cork in the wine, but sometimes it will add to the flavor.
