How NOT to Open a Corked Wine Bottle!

So, on a whim, I bought a cheap bottle of red wine.  I got it home and wanted to give it a try (I'm not even remotely a wine expert)...but guess what, it had a cork.  And I do not own a corkscrew (refer to previous comment that I am not a wine expert).  So, I went at the cork with a nut pick, trying to pry it up.  Here is a before and after of the nut pick:

Guess what?  That didn't work. 

I ended up using the bent nut pick to push the cork down into the bottle, spraying myself and the counter and floor with wine in the process.   I lost a lot of wine in the process...

However, that really isn't such a big deal, as the wine turned out to be quite bitter and generally 'ewwwwie'.
