Just like the mystery of the odd socks, something that vanishes fairly often from the majority of households, is the wine opener. It is just one of those items that you can’t seem to put your finger on when you need it.
We know some of us are sticking to our dry January pledge and remain off the beloved life elixir, commonly known as wine, until the second month creeps in, but this video is something all wine drinkers will find very useful.
This crafty tutorial from the folk at Mirabeau Wine teaches you how to open a bottle of wine using nothing but a shoe, a wall and some steely determination.
It’s not quite as impressive as opening a bottle of champagne with a knife, but we’ve a feeling this is one trick party-goers would be fairly amused by.
