What do I do?? Besides get a better corkscrew. LOL

can you push it all the way into the bottle?  if you can, then pour it into a decanter.

I would try a second corkscrew on either side of the broken one and see if you can get the cork out that way (that's if you have another one)

I don't have a decanter. As evidenced by the cheap corkscrew, I'm not an avid wine drinker. LOL

I'll try pushing the cork through and go from there.

can you get some pliers and grab onto the screw part and pull it out?

I do have another one. It's an even cheaper one that came in one of those "kitchen in a box" sets. I guess it won't hurt to try.
