1, use thick book, use thick phone book. Put the book on the wall and hold it with one hand; Hold the bottle with the other hand and smash the bottom of the bottle at the center of the book or phone book. Maintain moderate strength and uniform speed. Watch carefully, and you will see the cork rise slowly and automatically.
2. Cut the bottle cap, spread a cloth on the wall, hold the bottle in your hand, and tap the cloth on the wall with the bottom of the bottle, and the cork will slowly push out. Halfway through, put the bottle on the table and slowly pull out the cork after the bubbles disappear. If there is no wall, you can also hit the bottom of the bottle with your knees or soles.
Once the cork is partially ejected, it can be pulled out by hand or pliers. Or you can continue to beat rhythmically until the whole cork pops up. If you want to open a carbonated drink (such as champagne or beer), let it stand for 10- 15 minutes before opening it.
Note: the force must be appropriate when knocking. Before the wine bottle stopper comes out, stop knocking and pull out the wine bottle stopper by hand.
3. Take out a screw and a pair of pliers, nail one part of the screw into the cork and leave the other part outside. Tighten the screw with pliers, and then pull it out together with the cork.
When red wine is put in warm water, the air in the bottle will expand, which will also accelerate the outward movement of the red wine cork. When a part of the cork is exposed, you can pry it out with a knife or screwdriver.
4. Use a fruit knife or serrated knife (note: the blade should not be too wide or too narrow, just insert the cork, and don't cut to the edge of the cork). Insert the blade into the center of the cork and try to avoid cutting the edge. Hold the bottleneck in one hand and slowly turn the handle to drive the cork to rotate together; Don't turn too hard. Then slowly lift the handle upwards and slowly pull out the cork.
5. Find a shoelace or other strong rope, tie a knot at one end of the strap, use a strong steel needle to bring the strap to the bottom of the cork, take out the steel needle, and pull the strap outward hard to drive the cork to be pulled out together.
6. Take two paper clips and a pen. Straighten the paper clip partially and keep the curvature at both ends unchanged. Put two paper clips into the bottle from the gap between the cork and the bottle mouth until one end of the paper clip is lower than the cork. Turn the paper clip and hook the cork. Wrap the other end of the paper clip tightly, put the pen in the winding part, pull it up and slowly pull out the cork.
Many people don't know how to open red wine for the first time. Many hotels and restaurants have already been done, so there is no need to open them again. We need to pay attention to the whole process of red wine opening. Because red wine is preserved for a long time, some red wines are sealed with wax, so using a red wine bottle opener is not only a simple method, but also the whole process.
Will the quality of wax-sealed red wine be higher?
In fact, in addition to wax sealing of red wine, many foods also use wax sealing technology. For example, Eddm cheese is famous for its bright red wax seal on the outside. Wax sealing is a processing technology to increase the shelf life and facilitate long-distance freight transportation.
Wax sealing is a traditional bottle sealing method.
In the 5th century, the Romans just started to make bottle caps with red oak and seal them with wax. At that time, it was most common to use wax or plaster of Paris as the lid of red hip flask and jar, and drop vegetable oil on the surface of red wine (to reduce the contact between wine and co2). In medieval Europe, watercolor painting described using twisted cloth or leather products to plug a red hip flask or wine bottle, and sometimes adding wax to ensure sealing.
Wax sealing is a traditional bottle sealing method, which can block the contact between gas and red wine more reasonably and reduce the air oxidation rate of red wine. Naturally, because of this, the development trend of bottled red wine slows down and the relative storage time is longer. Under the condition that the sealing technology of contemporary bottles is relatively developed, the traditional wax sealing method has long been rare, and the methods of choosing heat-shrinkable caps and tin caps are more and more extensive. Wax sealing method is usually used for red wine with great development potential in recent years.
In other words, I hope a bottle of wine can last longer.
The quality of wax seal is not necessarily cool and handsome.
Although the wax-sealed red wine only has a certain effect on the red wine with great development potential in recent years, some red wine manufacturers also use wax-sealed red wine in order to present the retro style of handmade red wine to customers, let customers feel the traditional style of red wine, or simply try their best to attract customers on the packaging. From the quality point of view, customers need to be more cautious when looking at wax-sealed red wine, judging whether a bottle of red wine looks too simple simply from wax-sealed, or judging comprehensively from all angles.
How to open a bottle of wax-sealed wine correctly
Method 1: Open the lid with seahorse knife immediately.
? Pick a seahorse knife
? Aim the tip of seahorse knife at the bottle stopper slightly away from the management center.
? Just like opening a cork, drill the tip into the bottle cap. When the seahorse knife drills into the bottle cap, some wax glue will crack. Remember to scrub with a wet cotton towel.
? Tighten it after scrubbing, just like opening the lid for maintenance and peace. Remember to scrub the cork with a cotton towel.
? When most of the bottle caps are removed, just unscrew the bottle caps manually.
? After opening the lid, the residual wax glue can still be seen at the cork, which is suitable for personal collection.
This method of opening the lid is simple and rude, and there are still some risk factors in actual operation. Because not all wax-sealed red wines are recessed in the middle as shown in the figure, sometimes some wax-sealed red wine corks will show a certain inclination, and it is difficult to grasp which precise point to drill in actual operation; In addition, it is difficult to pass through a layer of wax without strength, even if it is drilled, it is very likely to be crooked, which is easy to cause the cork to break when the cover is opened; Moreover, the wax itself is slippery, and you may scratch yourself if you are not careful; In addition, if you are not careful, wax gum will fall into the wine, which may also destroy the appearance, even aroma and taste of red wine.
More importantly, the above method is obviously only applicable to spiral wine bottle openers, but not to old wine bottle openers. As we all know, many waxed red wines are "old". Dealing with a bottle of aged red wine will definitely make the cork break and even fall into the bottle. Therefore, this method is generally not recommended at this time.
Second, heat the wax seal to soften it.
Experienced sommeliers usually heat the wax seal until it is soft, and then use the wine bottle opener to actually operate it. This is because wax glue is not resistant to high temperature, and it will melt with a little heating, so it usually only needs to be heated for 30 seconds. Remove the wax glue and the cork will appear in front of your eyes. At this time, just open the lid in the usual way.
It is worth mentioning that because the sealing wax is very easy to melt at a higher temperature, it is more important to store red wine at a suitable temperature. In order to store red wine sealed with wax glue as soon as possible, it is best to store red wine in a cool place and maintain a certain environmental humidity.
