It seems that with the synthetic corks, someone would have incorporated a nylon loop into the top of the cork so that it could be extracted with stout-handled Wooden spoon or other object.

       The only reason to have corks at all is to permit the dog and pony show of opening the bottle.   

       Just put a screw cap on it.

       They're doing that more and more with decent wines anyway.

       I don't actually like synthetic corks or screwtops (yes, I know they are better for the wine).   

       That said, I think this is a brilliant idea [+]

       It is very difficult to impress a date with a screw top.

       Depends what it's on, Gal
