Use Cheesecloth to Filter Broken Cork from a Bottle of Poorly Opened Wine

It happens to all of us at some point?our wine-fu fails us and we wind up pushing the cork back into a bottle instead of removing it, or we break the cork entirely. America's Test Kitchen has a simple solution that beats pouring bits of cork into your glass: grab some cheesecloth and a rubber band.

You can probably see where this is going: use the rubber band to get the cheesecloth around the bottle opening, and just pour the wine through the cheesecloth. The beauty of cheesecloth is that it's meant for liquid to pass through while keeping solid things on the other side, so it works perfectly. They also have some additional wine tips to help keep your bottle from dripping as you pour and to make opening easier. Just hit the link below.
