Everyday Hacks That Make Us Feel Like We’re Winning at Life

There are few things in life as tragic as a bottle of wine that cannot be opened. Okay, maybe we’re being dramatic. Counterpoint: if you are about to uncork your favorite vintage and your corkscrew breaks, it may seem as if you are flat out of luck. Fortunately, you can probably still salvage the evening and your wine.

If you still have the broken-off screw, insert it into your power drill. Then turn on your drill and allow it to use its force to insert the corkscrew for you. Of course, using a power drill to open a wine bottle may not be classy, so you aren’t likely to see this being done in your favorite French bistro. However, who cares how your wine got opened if it saves your night?
