A tool (10) for removing a pour spout from the neck (22) of a bottle (20) has an elongate body with a first end (11) and a second end (13). Positioned at or near first end is an aperture (12) in communication with a channel extending toward the second end of the tool. The channel is substantially V-shaped in that a leading end of the channel is wider than the trailing end of the channel. The barrel of the pour spout becomes increasingly deformed, relative to its normal state, as it travels from the leading end of the channel towards the trailing end of the channel. A flange (32) of the pour spout may be bonded to the rim of an opening of the neck (22) of the bottle (20) by a dried liquid having a high sugar content, if the content of the bottle was such a liquid. The leading end of the channel further includes a pair of wedges (18) positioned to facilitate breaking such a bond. The wedges provide additional leverage in separating the pour spout from the bottle.
