I don't get the thumbnail. I'm not a winedrinker, so maybe there's something I'm missing, but it looks like someone is pulling up on the cork and pressing down on it at the same time. That shouldn't work.

Interesting, but they skipped on the fun of half-broken-off corks, and such fancy things like pressure needles to push out the cork by pressurising the bottle.
When listening the options to open a bottle without a corkscrew the choice to push the cork into the bottle was missing as well. |
