	<h1>How to Recover If You Break a Wine Cork</h1>


<div id="intro">
Our favorite wine guy, <a target="blank" href="http://www.mattskinner.net/">Matt Skinner</a>, dropped by the CHOW offices to share some very handy wine tips, including what to do when the cork breaks as you&#8217;re opening a bottle. He recommends trying to attack the remainder of the cork with a corkscrew. If that doesn&#8217;t work, or if bits of the cork fall into the wine, you&#8217;ll need some additional equipment. To learn more from Matt, check out his new book, <a target="blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1845334833?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=c037-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=9325&#38;creativeASIN=1845334833"><i>Heard It Through the Grapevine</i></a>.
