Take off your shoe, make sure you use one with a thick sole. Peel the wrapper off from the wine bottle. Hold the bottle with a firm grip and place it’s bottom inside the shoe until it fits snugly. Hold the bottle in the shoe (the bottle base and the shoe should be flush). Bang the soul of the shoe against the concrete or brick wall.

The pressure from the wine will force the cork out enough to pull out the rest of the way.
