We have all been there. There’s nothing worse. We’re in a situation where we have wine but no bottle opener.

It’s just another thing going wrong on the long list of things going wrong that led you to wine in the first place.

YouTuber Crazy Russian Hacker is the genius behind these 8 bottle opening hacks that look genuinely achievable. One may involve a flame torch and another an air compressor but the rest are hacks using keys, knives and screws and can reunite you and your wine in seconds.
