this may be taboo....but if you are planning to drink the whole bottle, you could try to push it in???
or find a sharp of scissors and force it in an inch or so, then jsut twist while gently trying to pull it out
edit, are you enjoying it with your secretary??? :ph34r:

with a little ingenuity, you can turn a wire coat hanger into a corkscrew!

My next bright idea was to find a glass cutter & coffee filter.. knock the top off, strain out the glass fragments.
MacGuyver is proud for sure.

if you warm up the neck of the bottle it well expand and the cork well slide right out ... use's less band-aids too

Next time, try to GENTLY bang the bottle bottom against a wall. The air pressure inside will eventually move the cork out. Key word is gently

This works.. you can use a towel (or shirt or jacket) to pad against the wall.

Thanks fellas. It was a 150.00 bottle of wine. I wasn't about to push the cork into it.
It's all good now!
