Removing a cork from a bottle

I just saw this on another forum. Whether or not you've already seen it, this is worth repeating. Please share with any of your friends who enjoy a bottle of wine occasionally. We've all been there!

I bet that is a lot harder to do with wine in the bottle.

No point taking it out of an empty bottle, and I can't see his trick working on a full bottle.

Perhaps. But, since cork floats, I'll bet if you poured off a glass, you could retrieve the cork and pour the rest of your wine without having to use a straw to hold the cork back.

As a Home winemaker, a friend sent me the link several months ago. Several of my friends save empty bottles for me and once in a while they will have a cork inside. I tried it and it works a lot better than trying to fish it out with 2 shishkabob skewers.

HI, Howie
I'm a home winemaker too. What do you currently have brewing? I saw the link on http://www.winepress.us/forums/index.php? Have you dropped in? Great site!

I'm pretty sure I registered for that site several months ago, but forgot my account name and password. I am ready to bottle 2006 Chardonnay, Riesling, Vidal, Leon Millot, 2 Sparkling cuvees and a Rose blend. I've already bottled from 2006 a Dry White blend, Vignoles and Steuben. This year I plan on making Chardonnay, Riesling, Gamay, Steuben, Vidal and Cayuga. I may also make a Bordeaux blend. I've been making wine since '76. I use local grapes when I can, but also buy fresh-pressed juice and must from nearby press houses. What do you make?

[What do you make?

I just bottled blackberry port (with elderberry and oak) from 2006 berry picking, currently brewing damson plum, awaiting concord grapes to start plumcord, will make orange chocolate port (when my R.J. Spagnols kit arrives). Last year I bottled Pinot Grigio, Sorrel (from hibiscus flowers, ginger and spices), strawberry, strawberry/lavender (decided I don't like this combination), raspberry, blackberry wine and blackberry port. I usually pick or purchase my own fruits (mostly picked fruit) and the orange/choclate port will be my second kit wine. Not cerain yet how I feel about those. I've been making wine since 2004. Started with golden plums from a tree in my backyard. The tree didn't bear this year(?), so I inherited plums from a friends tree.
