Default Is there any other way to get a cork out of a wine bottle?

besides using a cork screw?
Okay...I have no wine bottle opening devices and no corkscrew and I can't go out and buy one right now. Is there any other way to get that cork out? If so, please tell me how.

"I have resorted to the "push it down into the bottle with a screwdriver or dull knife" method way too many times. But it works in a pinch..."

with this method , please please please filter with a coffee filter and decanter the wine... otherwise the cork will float in the wine - might upset your belly : /

there are other various ways to open a wine bottle but please ... if you are going to use a screwdriver/knife , make sure they are clean when you do use them

the easiest way is of course a corkscrew, they're cheap.

i promise
