Opening red wine is so easy: there’s no bottle opener, just a paper clip…

Prepare the bottle: Remove the plastic capsule covering the cork of the bottle.
Use the towel: Fold a thick towel in several layers (if you don’t have a thick towel, you can use folded clothes) and place it at the base of the bottle.
Tap the bottle against the wall: Place the bottle against a wall and, with the towel at the base, gently tap the bottom of the bottle against the wall. Make sure to apply a steady force—not too hard to avoid breaking the bottle, but not too gentle either.
Pull out the cork: After a few taps, the cork will start to pop out. Once it’s far enough out, pull it out by hand until it’s completely removed.
