Can't find my corkscrew. Help!

As topic, how can I open my wine without a corkscrew?

I've seen the shoe method but I'm aprehensive to try it.

Help me out guys.

Mushroomsoup, I can actually do that really well but surely it won't work with a non carbonated bottle of wine? Anyway, I have my tools! I'm going in.

Edit, there's no way that I can do it with a screw. Totally impossible. Going to try the shoe method.

Tried the shoe method, done about 20 bangs. Not a shift!

I just hurt my hand.

This ain't a bottle of Black Tower! This is French! It has the word Chateau on it!

Noob is me. I just remembered that I have a waiters friend in my cigar box. Thank's guys.

What we learnt today - The shoe method doesn't work & I'm too weak to do the screw method.

Cheers guys!

Though I think the whacking it off the wall 30 odd times has affected the flavour a bit...

Pushing the cork in will totally affect the flavour. No thank you!
