However, sometimes we forget things.
However, it is important to note that this trick is more effective on synthetic corks.

We tried this trick on a natural cork once, but it just crumbled.
So, be careful when you try this method.
If you dont have a key with you, you could also try using a lighter!
It might take a few minutes to get the whole cork removed, but yes, it works.
By heating the neck of the wine, vapor is produced and it pushes the cork upwards.
The only problem with this technique is that it might affect the aroma and taste of your wine.
But if you are still curious if this is possible, go ahead and try it.
Learn how to open a wine bottle with a lighter throughTop MMAs step-by-step tutorial below.
Step 2:
Place the wine bottle right side up.
Using the lighter, heat up the air underneath the cork so it expands and pushes up the cork.
Rotate the bottle while heating it for about a minute or so.
You should see the cork starting to move.
Wait until the cork goes out completely.
Step 3:
Serve the wine and enjoy.
