Serve Red Wine Right: Let the wine breathe for 15–20 minutes after opening for the best flavor.
Store Leftovers: Reseal the bottle with the cork (if intact) or use a wine stopper. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Variations:
Use a Key or Screw: If no clip is available, a sturdy key or long screw can also do the trick using the same twist-and-pull method.
Shoe Method (for fun): Place the bottle inside a shoe and tap it against a wall to force the cork out with pressure—use with caution!
FAQ:
Q: Is using a clip safe?
A: Yes, as long as you're careful and avoid pushing too hard. A towel helps provide grip and prevents injury.
Q: Will the cork break inside the bottle?
A: It's possible if the clip isn’t secure. Try to insert it firmly and twist gently to avoid crumbling the cork.
Q: Can this be done with synthetic corks?
A: This works best with natural corks. Synthetic corks may be too tough or slippery for this method.
