Default Corking a bottle

Newbie here again. A friend of mine who used to make wine a lot was
telling me that I should put the cork in with a piece of wire (thin
22ga) running beside it to let the air out. After you press the cork in
you pull the wire out.

Anyone heard of doing this? His arguement was that the pressure in the
bottle will push the cork out. Knowing how much effort it takes to pull
a cork out I'm thinking that would have to be a hell of a lot pressure.
