I'm back from the shop. I knew ye'd be worried, just thought I'd let you know.
Does anybody have any experience of getting a broken corkscrew out of a bottle of wine?
Edit: Hurray! I now have wine in my glass, and everywhere else. Thank you /talk, I love you all. From the bottom of my heart.

Scissors
Just stick it in and twist. Should be reet.

That or us the blunt end of a table knife to push the cork into the bottle.
You may have to pour the wine through a tea strainer though.

I believe that's normally referred to as cupping
and you should really ask if it's OK to do first.

Or use a hacksaw.
That would be the more sensible option.

Pliers
But if it's a plastic 'cork', it makes no difference to just shove it through.

push the cork right down into the bottle
and prepare a sieve for pouring purposes

I thought you would have suggested
smash the neck off on the side of a skip and glug from the bottle.

Nope
You might spill some that way.

Try harder, you spastic.
Wrap the top in a towel or something and give it a good thump.

Have you got one of those corkscrews with levers on either side?
If so, re-screw it and lever it out.

The stupid lever broke off
Have it now! I have lovely wine in my glass, on the floor, worktop, my top and my arms.

if it won't go down wrap a teatowel around the base
and gently smack it against a wall base first
the pressure pushes the cork out enough for you to grab it with pliers teeth firm grip
and yank it out
