Want to cork a bottle of wine or champagne?
But you don't have the strength to put the cork back in either?
You have to admit that it's very difficult to put the cap back on into the neck of the wine bottle to close it without any tricks.
For champagne, it's impossible.
You can carve the cork with a knife.
It works... But it's not very practical and the cork may fall apart when you cut it.
So the trick is to put it in boiling water for 10 min , to soften it.
1. Boil water in a saucepan.
2. Dip the cork in it.
3. Leave it for 10 min to soften.
4. Take it out of the water.
5. With the help of a cloth so as not to burn yourself, compress the tip.
6. Fit it into the bottle.
And that's it, you're done, your bottle is corked :-)
Simple, practical and easy!
This trick will allow you to keep your wine for a few days...
Rather than having to throw away the half-full bottle! And that means less food waste.
To recap an opened bottle of champagne, it's not the same technique.
