3. I'm impressed.
When I read shoe I had concerns. Damn, them Frogs are slick.

Out of desperation, I have opened wine bottles by shoving the cork into the bottle with a finger. Through trial and error I found the secret is to hold the bottle inverted to allow the cork to float freely then upright and hope the corks become wedged sideways or it will continue float up and plug the neck.
