    The glass neck was not red, it was a red wrapping on the neck. He just did not show the removal of it to waste our time. The video was edited to save time and get to the point. But most intelligent people would understand this anyway and not question why there are edits in it. As far as the rest goes, just got to try it one day.

    @77gambit77 Well, considering that the effect might have something to do with gases from carbon dioxide contained in red wine, it might not be such a “DUH” question to ask. Not sure white wine contains the same amount of gases. But thanks for your answer anyway. Althoung I doubt it would work with water…I’ll try it out.

    @andromeda610
    DUH…the mechanics would be the same! The bottle could be filled with water and this would still work. Just remember to remove the foil seal first.

    they checked it on german television and it really works! But be aware it also can explode!

  5. I had never heard …
    I had never heard of this before! Great tip, thank you!

    You put the put the bottle in your shoe (better not be a sneaker) then you step in dog sh*t and then you crack the bottle against the tree and the next time you come back to the same place the tree is dead. Don’t forget the corkscrew assh**le!

    @ylreveb23 your post is fake.

    Fabulous! Please tell me, will this also work with white wine?

    It definitely took a man to figure this one out, somehow I don’t think this idea would work using high heels . . .

  12. you dumb f-s, of …
    you dumb f-s, of course it works. I’ve done it before, but by just banging the bottom of the bottle on a fallen tree trunk (which is a little scary because you wonder if the bottle might break). So I like the shoe add-on. If you don’t think it works, why don’t you try it first before slagging the guy.

  13. It probably didn’t …
    It probably didn’t work for you non believing Red-necks….. cuz u prolly used flip flops, ats why da bottle broke, and u prolly tried it on a PBR bottle

  14. This really does …
    This really does work; I’ve seen it done a few times. All I can say is that you non-believers try it and you will see.

  15. Bordeaux, yes. But …
    Bordeaux, yes. But I wouldn’t ruin a vintage port by trying that.

    @SlartyFartBlast Maybe you need better shoes.

  17. I’m skeptical. I …
    I’m skeptical. I see no scientific reason that it should work. The only conceivable principle that I can think of is that the impact slightly deforms the bottom of the bottle and the shock wave travels through the wine and pushes on the cork. But that glass doesn’t deform much, there’s air in the bottle that will absorb the shock, and the area of the cork is smaller than the base of the bottle, which will be backwards of what you want.

  18. I’ll have to try …
    I’ll have to try this with the cheap stuff first.

    @ylreveb23 Hi there …
    @ylreveb23 Hi there, thanks for viewing our video. We would be happy to demo the technique live for you one day! In the meantime, notice the red wrapping is peeled off before he begins using his shoe. You can tell it’s not empty as the cork is still sealed in. Make sure to take off the wrapping before attempting as the cork needs room to move out of the bottle. Thanks for watching!

  20. Totally fake…he …
    Totally fake…he starts with a wine bottle that has a red neck, and ends with an EMPTY bottle with a plain neck. Check it out. Bet you can’t do it anyway without breaking the bottle….

    Assuming it does work, wouldn’t THAT stir up the sediment! Yuck…

    Good one to know – - if it works! May have to try it one day :)
