How to open a wine bottle

I am going to show you that opening a wine bottle is not difficult or complicated at all and that a women can do it without help of men. After you learn it, you may still let the men do it and let them feel strong and clever :)

You need a corkscrew in order to open a wine bottle in a decent way. There are ways to open a wine without them but they are not as "decent" as my way :) A corkscrew can look like the one above or the one below. They both serve the same purpose, but I usually use the upper one since it is more comfortable to use it.

The common part of all corkscrews is the part that looks like a screw and that you can stick into the cork. Let's see how these things work.

First, you put the bottle on a table or another flat surface. There is something that covers the upper part of the bottle. I don't know what it is called :) It is something like a hardy paper that covers the top of the bottle. Whatever its name is, you should get rid of it. I usually scratch it with the sharp end of the corkscrew so that I can grasp it with my fingers and take that cover out.

Now you can see the top of the cork in which you can stick the corkscrew. You put the corkscrew into it and turn it cloclwise until you can't turn it anymore or until you believe that it is enough. The corkscrew's arms should be looking up. Hold those arms and take them down :) The cork should be out now.

That's all! As you see, there is nothing to be afraid of. Don't deceive yourself saying that you don't know how to do it or that you can't do it :) Just try !
