corkscrews, shoes, and cans

when all else fails... use your shoe.

i thought this video was pretty hilarious, especially since i am just now getting into wine (a little late, i know). i am not sure if i turned my nose up to it because of the unfamiliar taste or the complicated process of opening the bottle. beer is easy. pop the tab, screw off the top, or in rare cases use an opener. nonetheless, using a bottle opener is far less difficult than using a corkscrew. you have to drink wine out of a glass, which is unfortunately risky for anyone who is the slightest bit clumsy (much like myself) or who uses intense hand gestures while talking (like mac, from its always sunny in philly). i guess i could follow in the footsteps of the its always sunny cast and and take empty coke cans and fill them up with boxed wine. i avoid spilling wine from the glass and i dont have to go through the obnoxious process of removing a cork from a bottle. but, if bottled wine with a cork is the only option, i guess i can always try using my shoe.
