What we’ve done here, for your pleasure, is assemble the best video tutorials for opening spirits in unconventional ways that we could find. There’s the champagne tutorials for the traditonalists. The wine instructional for the elitists. And the beer guides for those, like us, who enjoy the simpler pleasures.

Did we forget to mention that each video opens your bottle of choice without the aid of new fangled corkscrews or bottle openers?

Silly us.

Opening Wine without a Corkscrew
The first of two vids feature our new favorite frenchman in all the world(sorry Jean Reno) opening a wine bottle with nothing but a shoe and some guy using a tree to the same end. His method is not as spectacular as the first but useful for those living in the sticks or next to national or urban parks.

Opening Beer with a Lighter or Piece of Paper
Smokers will rejoice at the thought. Any serious writer should know that the pen may be mightier than the sword but a piece of paper will allow you to drink forever.

Opening Champagne
Lastly, open that bottle of bubbly with nothing but the glass at your table or that sword you mysteriously carry in the folds of that long overcoat.

There can be only one.

The Next Day(Sorry, no vids for this)
After all that opening and drinking is done you might want to cure what’ll be ailing ya in the bright morning light. Your choice of hangover cures range from the bizarre to those with rockstar flavor.
