Over the course of his career as Sommelier at the famed Windows on the World and now as our Wine Director, Josh has opened thousands (millions?) of wine bottles. As a result he has experienced every snafu that can happen in opening wine. Maybe this one has happened to you? You twist the corkscrew in ever so carefully and then gah! The cork falls in. While touching the cork won’t actually harm the quality of your wine, it can be a real pain to try and pour with a cork stuck in a wine bottle. In this 1-minute video, Josh shows us an easy trick (wine hack) to solve the problem. Tune in!

March 3, 2020 - 4:09 pmWorks great but with RED wine leaves my shoe string wet and discolored !

April 12, 2020 - 4:48 amYou might want to try that wine before you get your shoestring wet. Frequently i find that if the cork is that willing to go south, it may have quit doing its main job awhile back 🙂

I agree with that! I’ve experienced the same thing: cork went down into the bottle; wine had gone South. (Doesn’t mean I didn’t drink it.)
