Damn, what about my cork ? I might have to stop wearing shoes, or stop walking. I don't want the top of my head flying off..

I suppose it would be ideal for Mollydooker wines, they strongly recommend to shake their bottles before opening

Great for those really old bottles with saturated crumbly corks.

Go on admit it, is there anyone on this list that reckons they aren't going to give this a whirl on a cheap bottle when they are three sheets one night? :D

My dad taught me that one. Against the wall but he didn't use a shoe. He used a jumper or jacket from memory.
