Not often, but every now and then I find myself with good company, a bottle of wine, and no corkscrew. Typically this happens while travelling and I’ve been forced to push the cork into the bottle which creates a mess and trouble pouring the wine.

Here’s the best solution I’ve ever seen. Also check out the Coravin described in the article. I think it is too expensive and does not deal with crystal formation or sediment in the wine.
