Pour Like a Pro: Saving a Broken Cork

(light funky music)

Okay, I can't believe it.

This has never happened to me in my entire career

but I've broken the cork.

What do I do?

Oh, what do I do?

There's a couple things you can do.

If there enough cork left in there

and you think you can get a little footing

then get your worm in there

and just pop it out of there.

If, however, it's pretty deep, it's pretty stuck,

don't fret it, just take your screw,

this is another reason why you have a waiter's corkscrew,

and just push it down in there.

Not a big gadget guy, however,

this is a very useful pro tool.

This is a little funnel that contains

a fine mesh screen inside.

I've just pushed the cork down inside.

Just let it rip.

This is gonna catch it.

In fact, a piece of cork may never come out.

We may never see it.

It may just stay in there,

teasing us and taunting us at our incompetence.

You may even be able to see it floating in there.

This is taking a lot longer than I had hoped.

This happens folks.

This is part of the adventure.

So if you break the cork,

it's no big deal.

Just push it in, decant it out.
