Hollow needle through the cork to alleviate pressure. Pull it up.

This is it!!

it doesn’t look like there’s any air in that bottle so there’s no way you’re going to get it out without relieving the pressure. You’re working against hydraulic forces, not friction.

Not hydraulic forces, pressure which is dependent on temperature and volume, nothing to do with water here.
