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.
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.
What is the theory behind placing a fork or spoon in an open bottle op champagne?

When opening a bottle of champange you should always untwist the wire hook remove the wire and foil and then?
My method of opening a bottle seems to work. I use my thumbs on both sides of the cork and slowly move the cork up and working it out of the bottle. I have never had one pop out or shoot out the champagne, but I think the key is that I do it slowly and that allows the pressure in the bottle to become less as the cork is moved up. Or try this (depending on the results you want to achieve): After removing the wire and foil, the cork can removed two ways, the "Hollywood-movie" way ("winning-team-locker-room method) which is to grip the bottle at the neck, shake it up and push the cork out with the ends of your thumbs (while aiming the bottle at something that is not living). This will cause a great pop, and you will lose most of the champagne in a great gush. If, however, you actually wish to drink the champagne, then open it the civilized (classy-restaurant) way, by wrapping a tea towel around the neck. Hold the end of the towel over the cork with one hand, while tilting the bottle slightly and aiming it away from living things, then, while gripping the cork with the toweled hand, twist the bottle (not the cork) with the other hand, and voila! The cork will pop out, and most of the champagne should remain in the bottle if you have chilled it sufficiently and have not shaken the bottle.
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.
How do you throw away a bottle of champagne that wasn't open is it dangerous for someone if it brakes?

How do you open a can without a can opener?
use a screw, a screwdriver and a hammer. using the screwdriver, screw the screw into the cork until approx 2cm poking out. use the hammer as you would taking a the screw out of a wall, wood ect ect and ease the cork out. voila! make sure you don't push too hard when pushing the screw into the cork otherwise the cork will end up in the bottle and you will end up with wine all over your face; like i just did! it went everywhere; including in the toaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =]

Usually, this refers to shaking a champagne bottle and popping it open, then spraying the people around you/your friends with showers of champagne. But in the song 'Champagne Showers' the meaning IS something sexual.
How to Open a Wine Bottle?
Opening a wine bottle sealed with a cork is simple in concept, but in reality, it takes a bit of skill and a good deal of patience. With a little practice, opening a wine bottle will be an easy task. A good corkscrew is necessary to remove a wine cork quickly and easily. The fancy ones are nice, but you really don't need anything more than a sturdy t-shaped corkscrew. If you prefer to use less muscle, a double-lever corkscrew will save you tons of time and effort. Either of these will cost less than $10. Make sure you start with dry hands. This sounds like a no-brainer, but if your hands are the least bit wet, accidents can happen. Dry the bottle as much as possible. Remove the wine bottle's foil wrap, either with a knife or foil-cutter (some corkscrews will have this feature). Remove the cut foil and place the wine bottle on a sturdy, flat surface. If using a T-shaped corkscrew, place the end of the screw on the top of the cork, making sure it's as close to center as possible. Hold the bottle firmly while you add pressure and twist the screw into the center of the cork, making sure the screw stays centered. Twist until most of the corkscrew is inside the cork. Then, hold the bottle with one hand while gently, but firmly pulling the corkscrew out with the other. If using a double-lever corkscrew, place the ring at the bottom of the corkscrew over the mouth of the wine bottle. This will help keep the screw centered as you twist. Keep one hand on the ring over the bottle mouth, and twist the �head' of the screw with the other hand, adding pressure so that it goes into the cork. As the screw enters, the levers go up. Twist until most of the screw is inside the cork. Then, using both hands, push the levers down. This forces most or all of the cork out of the bottle. If there's still a little cork in the bottle, hold it firmly while easing the cork the rest of the way out by gently using a side to side motion while pulling. Do not allow the tip of the screw to go completely through the cork. This is called �corking,' and can make pieces of cork fall into the wine. This is not only unattractive, but it can change the flavor of the wine.
