If you run into this situation that often, try getting a fucking Swiss Army Knife. They have these neat corkscrew things that you can use without needing a towel to guard your hands against possible bottle breakage.
That's cute but it seems a lot more tedious and dangerous than just using a corkscrew.
I wonder if the actual force is caused by a cavitation shock wave, like the trick where you burst the bottom of a glass bottle by smacking the top just right.
If you're going to be that much of an asshole, you gotta at least let the wine breathe for an hour, and the sediment is settled by then. Why don't we all agree that wine snobbery sucks and we all just want to get drunk?
