RE: how to get cork out - 2/5/2005 5:50:22 PM    diggs   Posts: 37 Joined: 2/5/2005 Status: offline you can buy a very thin blade knife in the craft stores.It will go in some of the smallest bottles.You can cut it up and it comes right out,just be careful not to scratch the glass.You can always soak it in ammonia as the others said,before you cut it out.

The only exception is if the bottle has the original sealed cork with the paper or wax seal still intact. A half bottle of one hundred and thirty year old goo is useless and dangerous to have around. Not to mention the problem you have shipping them if you decide to sell one of them. The postal inspectors don't take to kindly to that crap dripping all over their trucks. Especially during these times. Besides the bottle just looks better without a bunch of grainy, stinky, drippy, glop backlit in your living room window. The neighbors will think you up to no good!! LOL There I've said my piece. Rich. (in reply to diggs) Post #: 26
