How to open a bottle of wine without a bottle opener

Imagine your disappointment when you arrive at an idyllic spot for a weekend away only to find there isn’t a bottle opener in any of the drawers. Let’s be frank, it would be enough to put a dampener on anybody’s holiday.

But one woman beat the odds when staying with friends one weekend in a remote cabin.

After discovering that there wasn’t a bottle opener, she took matters into her own hands.

And thankfully, she demonstrated how she successfully opened the wine bottle by sharing a tutorial on Facebook.
