Any tips for removing corks from bottles.

a drill is a little extreme it is only a cork

Don’t they use hemostats that also cut & grab, during surgery? Hmmmm... time to call my nurse sis and call in a favor-

My mom was a nurse for 50 years before she retired. I didn't get these from her. Some I got from a fly tying sports store. You can get them off the internet or your sister maybe?

How about if you take an egg hook and C.A. it onto a wooden dowel. That would grab the cork for sure.

How about an ice grabber? It would fit in a small neck and grab a cork for sure. Should have thought of this idea first.

Why not just leave it? Adds some character.

Keep in mind that laundry bleach will DISSOLVE cork fairly quickly, and will not hurt glass at all. Push the cork into the bottle, then fill the bottle with a bleach solution.
If you MUST use a tool, you can try a crochet tool.

Thanks for the tip Harry. I find old corks from the river. I usually soak, now I know bleach is a no-no.
