How many times has this happened to you? You find yourself face down in the gutter with your last bottle of MD 2020 and......Oh, wait a minute. Different thread, sorry.
Ever pull up on that bottle opener only to have half the cork come out? Aggravating isn't it. How are you suppose to get the other half out. You sure don't want to poke it down into the wine.
Crochet hook. Slide it down between the edge of the cork and the bottle. Slip the hook under the cork and presto...out comes the cork. Use a very small diameter one or one that is made with a flat surface. They come in different sizes.
