1. Buy a good bottle of white wine
2. Ensure that the bottle has a long nose and that the cork is really tight
3. Conveniently lose the corkscrew
4. Start uncorking with the next best tools such as the nail cutter and a screwdriver
5. Do a such shoddy job that the cork comes out in bits and pieces
6. Finally, push the cork into the bottle out of sheer frustration of not being able to get the bloody thing out
7. As wine glass is not available, use an ordinary glass tumbler
8. Pour the wine in; only to discover bits and pieces of cork merrily floating around
9. (and now the icing on the cake) Rush to the kitchen, get the tea strainer to filter out the cork pieces
10. Enjoy !!
Thank god, the girl who was with me was a sporty gal pal and not someone yours truly was trying to impress ;)
