The next time I'm in the hotel du Vin for dinner, I will insist they use this method to open my wine.
Bonjour monsieur sediment!
That's a good tip!
and for bottles of beer try a newspaper…

Agreed. It would be lovely with a bottle of vintage port. Lol.
Nice, but a screw top might be even easier :-)
Just break the neck of the bottle off....
What sort of idiot would EVER leave home without a bottle opener/corkscrew
I hope the wine is more expensive than his shoe!
Who knew a shoe was in fact a tactical item.

Watched a friend try this at the weekend - doesn't work out if you have a crappy cheap bottle with one of those plastic/rubbery corks.
I learned this "skill" last October in Gelsenkirchen in Germany. We were working there all week and we were staying in a big hotel with balconies. The banging of the shoes, bottle on the wall outside took a longish time and I would have not wanted to have been asleep on the same floor.
Not as effortless as it looks in the video.
Very useful tip. Thanks.
This one is funnier

But they would have to be well worn in and towards the end of their life.
