A must try with a recent bottle of Chilean cab. (short corks in them :wink: ) A very short air space gap between the wine and the cork, otherwise you end up compressing the air gap for a nano second.

The shoe has to have a traditional heel. The wall needs to be very solid brickwork or concrete with a very flat plastered surface.

I suspect it works with brand new oxford brogues, or Eastern Euro clones.

Kinetic energy ? - To every action there is an = to opposite reaction. The heel needs to be brand new, over 90% of the surface striking the wall precisely & simultaneously

great find Mel

I had these replies from friends.

Having tried several times I can confirm that it is possible to open a bottle of wine.... Just not sure if you can do it with a shoe. Mel send me a bottle with the kids and I'll let you know the result!!!

P



You mean someone try it with their shoe...!
Caroline




Brilliant !
I mean getting someone else to try with their wine....
Tony
