Today, for your pleasure I want to show you a very cool short video on "How to open a wine bottle without a corkscrew." It really works! Try this at a party and impress your friends! I did and their jaws dropped!
Before that, though, a word from my friends who turned me onto this cool video. If you don't live in japan, just go ahead and scroll to the bottom to see the video!
If you are in Japan and you like wine. Then iwine.jp is for you! What is iwine.jp? iwine.jp is Japan's online wine superstore. I always order my wine from iwine.jp
The reason we always order from iwine.jp and never buy at any of the other local discount wine shops is because, at the wine shops, you never know what you are getting. I hate buying a bottle of wine, then taking it home and having a sip and realizing that I made a mistake. With iwine.jp, this never happens!
iwine.jp has an easy-to-use point grading system that allows me to know what I am getting. I just merely input the price I want to spend per bottle and then the page gives me information - from professional sommeliers - so that I can make an intelligent choice and get what I want...
Quite different from your local corner liquor store that has a part-timer there who doesn't have a clue as to anything excepting that Happoshu is cheaper than beer. Or, at Kakuyasu, where the signs just tell you where the wines are from and if they are sweet or tart... (Hello! I need a little more information that that when I am spending a few thousand hard earned yen!)

My wife and I always order wine by the case from iwine.jp and stock up. This way, whenever we have quick emergencies when we have to visit someone suddenly, we just go to the wine cellar (er, our basement) and grab a bottle of wine with the confidence of knowing that we have a great bottle to give! iwine.jp also give you free shipping! Now, without further ado...for your enjoyment, iwine.jp presents "How to Open a Wine Bottle Without a Corkscrew!"
This is in French, but you don't need to speak the language to understand...
If you are in Japan, save time, effort and money! Order wine from
iwine.jp and tell them "Mike Rogers sent me!"

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
