Wine bottles use Corks/Stoppers, to maintain the freshness of the wine as well as keeping it air tight for a proper aging process. Because, of how they are made, they can be compressed and expand with the neck of the bottle. Making it easier to 'cork' different sized bottle necks.

How do you get the cork out of a wine bottle if it falls in when you are opening it?
A champagne cork is made up of several pieces of cork, that are grounded and glued together, like the letter T. It is shaped like a regular cork, before it is put in the bottle. The mushroom shape that you see when you open it, is a result of expansion of the cork by contact with the wine. An analogy would be a sponge that expands.
Where does the cork used for champagne and wine come from?
The cork used for wine comes from trees. The one used for champagne is actually the same, but it is made of two pieces that are put together, and inserted into the bottle. Its mushroom shape happens after it has been inserted, due to its exposure to liquid. Cork is like a sponge, and will absorb liquids, and therefore expand. This doesn't happen in regular wine because the neck of the bottle is not as wide, but it is still though to open a bottle.

How can you open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew?
Insert the needle valve used for filling up soccer balls into your auto compressor entirely through the cork. Turn on the compressor and the cork will simply come out on its own - with the cork itself acting as safety valve. If you have a screw and a hammer(or other prying tool) you can drive the screw into the cork with a screwdriver or knife, then pry the screw out with the prying end of the hammer. It's also possible to pull the screw and cork straight out if you can get a grip with a tool such as a wrench. Original(fewer tools but you have to deal with cork in your wine): stick a knife in it and twist the knife until it becomes lodged in the cork and then pull up with the knife. Push the cork inside the bottle using your finger or something else that will fit, like a knife handle. Then invert the bottle to get the wine flowing. No tools required: put the bottle of wine in a boot or shoe heel. Slam the shoe repeatedly to the ground, making sure the bottle doesn't fly out. Slowly the cork will slide out and your can enjoy the shaken bottle.
