*How to* open a bottle of wine...

I love wine.  no secret there.

but I've always had one of those wine openers with the levers and poof, bottle open, wine in glass.


one of those restaurant-waiter style openers...never been able to figure one out. 


but when you are faced with the dilemma...only opener in the house and a bottle of wine begging to be consumed...you make it work.  any way you can.
