Question
Hello Rabbi, Opening a wine bottle on Shabbat: 1. Is it permissible to pierce on a symbol, etc.? 2. How much should one pierce — a little or a lot? 3. After piercing, should the cork be opened or rather pour the wine through the hole? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
1. It is forbidden to pierce where there are letters or drawings, due to the prohibition of erasing.
2. As much as one desires.
3. Do not open the cork after piercing it, due to the prohibition of cutting, and pour through the hole made in the cork.
