Thanks for the suggestion, but the corkscrew is stuck in this false cork. I cant get it in further ot unscrew it.

OK... just try twisting backwards WITHOUT putting pressure on the handles. Those kind work better, I've found, if you just let the handles alone and the handles will start going up, then when the corkscrew is in, push the handle down. Might work.

It won't budge. It's like concrete.
TextOK... find a small knife. Put the point of the knife in cork as far from the corkscrew as you can. With one hand, hold the knife in place (that will help steady the cork and keep it from turning) You'll have to hold the knife and bottle at the same time, THEN try reversing/twisting backwards on the corkscrew, not using the handles. PS if you have another person there, this might work better, too.
