What to do if the wine cork is broken

Red wine is a type of wine that was introduced from the West. It is very suitable for women to drink. It has the effects of nourishing the skin and promoting sleep. Therefore, women who drink red wine for a long time often have shiny skin and rosy complexion. The cork on the red wine bottle can help preserve the flavor of the wine from deterioration, but it is often difficult to pull out and requires a professional corkscrew. So what should you do when the wine cork breaks?

1. Use a longer wood screw and a screwdriver to gently screw it into the broken wooden plug and slowly pull it out. If your hands are not working, you can use pliers.

2. Find a long, thin knife with a handle, gently insert it into the cork, rotate it, and slowly pull it out.

Find a pair of leather shoes with heels, put the bottom of the red wine bottle inside the shoe, and slowly tap the heel, and the cork will slowly come out. This is useful when the wine has not flowed out, and it is also suitable for applications without a bottle opener.

3. If you accidentally drop the cork into the wine bottle, you need to use a filter cloth to filter the wine before drinking it.

4. Note: Soaking the cork in red wine for a long time will affect the quality of the wine.

5. Carefully wipe the mouth of the bottle with a square towel and gently clean the debris from the crack. Be careful not to continue drilling the corkscrew into the remaining half of the cork according to the old method. This will easily press the cork into the bottle and contaminate the wine.

If there is a broken cork or cork fragments falling into the bottle, just quickly find a coffee filter paper, gauze or other filter to filter it out. Although not perfect, as long as the time is not too long, the impact on the flavor of the wine should not be too great.

6. It is wise to put the cork back into the wine bottle, which can preserve it for a week. A more economical approach is to transfer the leftover red wine into a small bottle so that no air can remain in the bottle, allowing it to be stored for a few more days.

The storage temperature needs to be controlled at 10-14℃, and the humidity should be maintained at around 70%. It is best to place the wine bottle horizontally with the bottle mouth slightly tilted downward. This will help the sedimentation of the dregs and the cork can also be moisturized by the wine. Maintaining a certain humidity, the bottle mouth is tightly plugged by the cork and can be stored for a few more days.
