I did use violence to open the bottle. I tried to wrap a towel around the base and hit the towel wrapped bottom on the wall so that the wine inside would force the cork out, all to no avail.
So, I don't know if this will ever work again or not, but I used pliers to bend the end of a sharp nail so the very bottom was kind of like a fish hook, then forced it through the middle of the cork until the hooked part was visible underneath the cork...the middle of the nail itself also bent a bit from the ordeal, but it made it through the cork, so that was cool. Then, I used my hands to pull up until the nail had penetrated the bottom of the cork. I then used the pliers again to grab the top of the nail and work the whole thing out.
