New Year's Eve is synonymous with "popping bottles." Now what you have in that bottle is up to you (sometimes sparkling grape juice is all you need to celebrate), but the frantic realization that you're sans opener is never a good thing. Even the best attempts of opening beer bottles on the edge of tables (cue cringing) or haphazardly with keys (cue sliced finger) usually don't end up well.

But Dave Haxworth has the perfect life hack for you—if you've got a sharp knife, piece of ribbon or an English ten pound note on you. Instead of the old tried-and-true method of yanking the rounded end of the cork out of your bottle of bubbly, Hax (as he calls himself on Youtube) shows us how to chop off the top with a knife (seriously). We all know how it feels to lose a wine cork to the inside of the bottle—take back your vino with a piece of ribbon. We'd be willing to bet a tenner that Hax's £10 note method would work with a greenback too. Check out this video completely breaking down the delicate process of popping three different bottles sans openers:
