Well, here it is - If you ever get caught without a corkscrew, you can do this.
How to open a bottle of wine with a shoe. Just watch.....you don't need to understand French.

Interesing, but the John Wayne technique of smashing the bottle neck on the edge of the bar is a lot faster.

I saw something similar recently, so if you don't have a shoe and a wall, apparently a tree will work, too. Love the shoe technique, though, thanks for posting it!

Whooda thunk? Certainly seems a lot faster than using a knife like we did in Hawaii once, and then had to strain cork thru our teeth!

Hmmm. I wonder how many bottles you break, until you get the hang of it.
