Do the Amish drink?

My Friend Lisa was working at getting into a bottle of wine the other night. New year's Eve, actually.
The corkscrew broke.
Now if that isn't real frustrating, I don't know what is.
Lisa came to the rescue with one of those double pronged things that sort of straddles the cork; do you know what I mean? You wedge it in on either side of the cork and then twist and pull. Sometimes it works.
She called it it an "Amish wine opener."

Ha ha!

I think they use it to pull corks from "cider" bottles... ;>)

Although we used to buy a lot of wine in Amish country!?
