Not sure that I am brave enough to open wine this way

I can't understand French (sometimes English either-but that is another story) but this video speaks for itself.

How to open a wine bottle with a shoe. [VIDEO]

Audio is delayed.

That is soooo unconvincing, and yet so fascinating. Doesn't the cork look short?

Note that he's wearing a white sweater! With red wine! He has nerves of steel.

might have to go get a cheap bottle and give it a shot. The undamaged cork is pretty nice.

You know the audio is probably a big long fancy "abracadabra..."

I don't see the harm in trying, I just doubt it would work... call me cynical.

I can more or less understand the audio--he's just describing what he's doing.

I can only understand this because it's completely concrete and it has a video to go with it!
