Definition: broken cork (in the neck of the bottle)

If, when uncorking the bottle, only part of the cork is out of the bottle, it may be because the corkscrew has not been screwed in deeply enough. In this case, try to reinsert the screw of a standard corkscrew into the rest of the cork, applying as little pressure as possible so as not to push it into the wine. This delicate operation must be carried out by holding the bottle at an angle so that the cork particles do not fall into the liquid. Once pierced, remove the corkscrew slowly, applying lateral pressure. Good luck!
