The story started from the day before yesterday. We planned to enjoy the white wine with cakes but no one brought any opener so we tried to borrow from others. We had asked every one we know that if they had an opener, but the answers were always "no". We discussed for a while and found that every one of us have openers and decided to bring them and taste the wine in the next day. However, in the next day, no one brought one because we thought that others might bring one. What a coincident! Not even one person had the different thought. Anyway, today, some of us did bring an opener in case things happened just like yesterday but no one knew that it was just the beginning.
At first, the opener was stuck in the cork successfully, and then we came to a problem which is nobody could pull out the cork. We have tried one by one until the cork mashed into pieces, which means the opener was useless after that,. That was really a tragedy. We had been looking forward this wine for two days because we didn't have opener but now we had many and they were useless. So, we had to use another way.
The most senior man came to an idea that we could stick a chopstick through the cork and make a little hole. A hammer was used to stick the chopstick into the cork and a pliers was used to pull out the chopstick. Suddenly, the chopstick broke into two fragments. One of them stock in the cork. There was nothing could be done unless we pushed the fragments into the bottle. We used another chopstick and stuck it into the cork again. The fragments in the cork was pushed down into the bottle, and, this time, the chopstick was removed smoothly.
At this moment, every one was screaming out load to celebrate the success of the "wine-opening" and getting ready for tasting the wine. We pooled the wine in the cups, and found that the wine was coming out drop by drop. Yes, it was drop. Even we had to wait for the wine pooled into the cups, we were satisfied with every single drop of the wine because every drops were our hard work. The wine was so sweat by the way, and I almost felt that I was drinking juice.
While every one was trying open the wine, I was searching the easier way to open a bottle of wine. Here is what I found:
I haven't tried it yet. I don't know if it works well. Maybe I will try it next time. lol
