so the story with this is........ i really wanted to try this wine and we needed a corkscrew, and knew that we didnt have one, but i bought it anyways. Well we got back to the room and then we proceeded to try and open it. Finally, i just decided to pushhhh as hard as i could, with a spoon, and get it open. I DID IT!! haha. then i just a straw to draw the contents. great fun!
