Wine lovers are 'mind-blown' after discovering how to open a bottle without a corkscrew

Ever been stuck without a corkscrew, left unable to pop open that bottle of red?

People are "mind-blown" after uncovering a very simple method to open up a bottle of wine on TikTok, a method that has been branded “genius”.

In a TikTok that has now gone viral being viewed over a million times, @ty.ree.suh demonstrated the easy-to-use hack.

The simple trick works in seconds and requires just two everyday items that can be found in pretty much every household drawer, The Mirror reports.

To complete the hack, all a person needs is a knife and a fork. Just push the knife into the cork and use the fork to hold it. Finally, twist the fork in circles, and then pop out the cork.

In the clip, the wine lover explains she too came across the advice on the social media app. Finding herself down one corkscrew, she decided to give it a go, and the reviewer was amazed by the results.

"Look at how easy it is," she said on the TikTok. "This is the best thing ever."

One person replied: "You... you just changed the direction of my life." A second said: “You are so smart! Thank you.” Another person wrote: “Wait that is genius.”

Someone else asked: "Also you can use a lighter & heat the top an the cork will come out…or am I wrong?!" The video's creator replied: "Yes but this trick takes a couple of minutes. Mine was a few seconds."

Others lamented not discovering the hack sooner: "That would have been nice to know when I used my car key during the pandemic, bent it, and had to be towed to the dealer to make a new key," read one such reply.

"I needed this months ago bro you have no idea," said another.
