Help: My corkscrew broke
If the corkscrew is still embedded in the synthetic cork, then get a
pair of heavy duty pliers and wrestle it out.
If not, you'll probably need another corkscrew. Natural corks are
fairly easy to push into the bottle and then decant the wine. BUt
synthetics are not so easy - and you want to not pound it in for fear
of breaking the bottle.
