On a hot day, you may want to have a bottle of iced beer or other beverages like red wine. However, if the liquor bottle caps are metal and there is no bottle opener, how can you enjoy a delicious drink? The following methods may help you.

Open Beer Caps.

If there is no bottle opener, you can find some alternative tools such as spoons, chopsticks, keys, etc. to open beer.

1.Use a spoon.

Choose a spoon with a thin edge and a hard texture. Metal spoons are usually more effective because they are stronger and less likely to bend. Insert the edge of the spoon between the cap and the bottle. After inserting the spoon, make the edge of the spoon fit as closely as possible to the lower edge of the cap. This can increase the prying force and stability. Hold the handle of the spoon and pry upward forcefully. During the prying process, you can appropriately wiggle the spoon left and right to help loosen the cap. Keep applying force until the cap starts to loosen and can be unscrewed.

2.Use chopsticks.

Select two chopsticks that are hard in texture and of moderate thickness. Bamboo or wooden chopsticks may be more suitable than plastic chopsticks because they are stronger. Place the two chopsticks side by side and align one end. This can increase the strength and stability of the chopsticks. Just like using a spoon, insert the aligned end of the chopsticks into the gap between the cap and the bottle. Hold the bottle with one hand and hold the other end of the chopsticks with the other hand. Pry upward forcefully and keep applying force until the cap is opened.

3.Use a key.

Choose a metal key of moderate size and a relatively flat shape. Insert the flat part of the key into the gap between the cap and the bottle. After inserting the key, hold the handle of the key and pry upward forcefully. Keep applying force until the cap loosens and can be unscrewed.

In addition to the above tools, many tools can be used in daily life. You can choose items with a certain degree of hardness that can withstand a certain amount of force so that they can be inserted into the gap between the cap and the bottle for prying or increasing friction.

Open Red Wine Bottles with Corks.

1.Heat the mouth of the bottle.

You can use a lighter to heat the mouth of the bottle to make it expand. Then the cork will pop out and you can directly pull out the cork by hand.

2.Smack the bottom of the bottle.

Take out a clean and thick towel and spread it on a flat wall. Align the bottom of the wine bottle with the towel on the wall and hit the towel with the bottle slightly forcefully. The impact force should be moderate. It should not be too light to have no effect, nor too heavy to break the bottle. You can try a lighter impact force first and then gradually increase the force. If you feel that the cork is loosening, you can adjust the force appropriately and continue to impact until the cork pops out completely.

These are some makeshift bottle openers and are not professional bottle-opening equipment. To a certain extent, they can meet the need to open wine bottle caps. However, when using these items to open liquor bottle caps, you need to be careful to avoid injury or damage to the bottle.
