How to Unblock a Cork

 


When a natural cork fails to reseal after you access the wine using the Coravin System, it may leak from the neck of the bottle. There are a few ways to unblock the cork, including using a straw and a kitchen strainer. You can also use a bit of WD-40 to loosen the cork and push it out.

Corks are surprisingly resilient, but they do wear down over time. To keep your corks looking good, wipe them down with a damp cloth or sponge on a regular basis. Avoid using harsh cleaners or chemicals, as these can damage the surface of the cork.

Using a straw to unblock a cork is one of the most straightforward hacks out there. This method works best for bottles that are fully degassed. Just slide the end of a straw down into the top of the bottle and wiggle it around. This should dislodge the cork and allow you to finish off the bottle.

If you're in a pinch and don't have a straw, you can use a piece of wire or an old spoon to scrape out the remaining pieces of cork from inside the bottle. This can be a bit messy, so you might want to grab some paper towels before you get started. You can also use the end of a screwdriver or a pair of pliers to dig out the last bits of cork from inside the bottle.

Another easy way to unblock a cork is to use a bicycle pump with a needle attachment. This is a great option for older, valuable bottles, as the pressure from the pump can even pop the cork out. Just make sure that the needle is completely inserted into the cork before you start pumping air.

This trick works well for natural corks, but it won't work with synthetic corks. You can also use a needle from a kit that comes with tools for accessing a cork. The kit should include various sizes of needles, so try different ones until you find one that is big enough to poke through the cork.

Nothing ruins a glass of Debouchage liege wine faster than pieces of floating cork in the bottle. You can easily remove them by placing a straw over the floating cork and pouring the wine through it. You can also use a coffee filter to catch the cork debris before you drink your wine.

Although this tip is a bit dangerous and can potentially break the bottle, it's an emergency solution if you don't have any other options. Wrap the bottle in a few thick towels and smack it against a wall or counter repeatedly until the cork pops out. This trick also works well for wine that is overly acidic or has high levels of sulfur dioxide. The Alo cork block proved to be the most durable among the yoga blocks we tested, and it's a solid choice for any serious yogi. However, Manduka's block is a close competitor, and it also receives excellent reviews from customers.
