I’d say just break the bottle open because I don’t think having to drink it all would be a problem, but you don’t have a good record with broken glass so probably better that you just took the 30 minute delay.
When I started pharmacy school, I moved away from my boyfriend (now husband), friends, and family to podunk, Louisiana. Almost immediately hurricane Katrina struck my hometown, leaving it a shambles and everyones’ future in question. AND I HAD MOVED TO A DRY COUNTY. Finally, oh finally, I got my hands on a bottle of wine, and I broke the cork in that stupid thing. Gave me a good excuse to cry at least.
This post is awesome. Once in college, my roommates and I accidentally came home with a liquor bottle without the sensor removed.(maybe this is a Michigan thing) I hammered off the top of the rum bottle!
This is why I thank God for $10 twist offs. That and the fact that I still don’t know how to use that damn fancy rabbit wine opener my roommate has. Seriously, using that thing is akin to opening a plastic clam shell package.
If you have a regular “waiter’s” corkscrew (make sure it’s double hinged- check by the checkout counter at your wine/beer store), you can solve that problem in about 17 seconds. I agree, still too long to wait for wine, but better than a half hour delay!
My name is Cely (pronounced like Cee-Lee or Sealy the mattress) and sometimes I run. Sometimes I don't. I live in Texas. I love Texas Tech. I like candy, Harry Potter, and short walks on the beach if it's not too hot, too cold, too sunny, too cloudy, too windy, or too still.

longtime reader, infrequent commenter… but man, wine is a GREAT thing to happen to good(ish)people. WINE IS WONDERFUL.
and i guess i should say even if the cork breaks. at least there was wine.
But not when it takes 30 minutes to get the bottom half out! There was wine eventually, but not nearly fast enough!

Lol my friend and I had a similar experience on Tday….but we evenutally pushed the cork IN…didn’t stop us from drinking at all. not.at.all.
Amen
I hate when that happens! I don’t try to get the other half out though. I just push it into the bottle with a butter knife and start pouring.

You are a true survivor. Dry counties are the worst.

My former roommate and I had a rabbit. It lives in a dumpster.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
So this is totally unrelated to this post, but I saw this today and thought to myself, “That seems like something that Reese’s would enjoy.” Does that make me creepy? Oh well. http://blu.stb.s-msn.com/i/5D/5A907E87147241F7F5BEBD2E6ED58.gif
Hahahahahah
Oh no! That happened to my friends and I once. One of my guy friends attempted to remedy with a knife. It’s a wonder he still has all of his fingers.

Have you seen this? Is it weird that it made me think of you enough to post a comment about it? :)
Of course Kate can play field hockey in heels with perfect hair. Of course she can. We live in an unfair world.
You might need to invest…
