How to open a wine bottle without a corkscrew! Brilliant!

I'm trying to envision a situation in which I don't have a corkscrew, but I do happen to have a bottle of wine, a screw and a hammer. Cool idea, though!

I too faced the "how to open the wine bottle without a corkscrew" problem whilst out camping. Luckily my father, who knows everything was handy. He just grabbed my wooden spoon and banged on the cork until it was shoved INSIDE of the bottle. You can't recork it, but hey, who cares, you get it open.

There is absolutely no comparison between corn syrup and golden syrup. Thank goodness you can easily get hold of it in Seattle...

I had to click on the 'open a wine bottle without a corkscrew' link because we've faced that situation before. I laughed when the solution was the same one my husband came up with all on his own. He uses a power screwdriver though - because it's more fun of course :) We actually broke all 3 of or corkscrews in a week or two - and used this method for months! It works great! :)
