Sadly, it's not for pleasure but I needed some red wine for my stew.

Sadly, I've been known to use a big screw and a pair of vice grips, late at night when all the stores are closed.
Just for future reference. . .

J: I thought about finding a sword and doing that nifty whacking thing. Alas, we have no sword.

Well, that's one of the first signs of the end times, you know.

Thanks for taking us to the brink, Lorraine.

Oh, wait, I have one here in the front desk drawer at the hotel. Drop by anytime to pick it up.

Crisis averted. Whew!

Iwanski, Right?

Thank heaven, Alan. I could hear the thundering footfall of the 4 Riders of the Apocolypse. They just texted me to say they were going for lattes instead.

corkscrew... dirty.
I just felt like Lorelie would say dirty if Luke said, "I can't find my corkscrews!"

LOL, Mols. I think you're absolutely right about that.

Red, I did. And MI5, the FBI, and Homeland Security. The latter said they already knew.

I think you can place the bottle in a pan of water,and slowly heat it till the rising pressure safely removes the cork with a gentle "pop"...or it will explode violently with a resoundong "BOOM!"..I can't remember which.

Right, Sling, plus there's the whole hot-red-wine-that-you-had-no-intention-of-mulling-in-June thing.
