How to Open a Bottle Of Champagne
The trick is to pop the cork with style and flair—and without creating a dangerous projectile.
Step 1: Make sure bottle is chilled
Champagne is best opened when very cold, so make sure you’re working with a well-chilled bottle. 43 to 48 degrees is ideal.
Tip
Put the bottle in a champagne bucket full of ice. To speed up the chilling process, add cold water and a little salt.
Step 2: Dry bottle & point cork
Dry off the bottle so you can get a good grip, and point the cork away from people.
Step 3: Peel foil wrapper
Peel off the foil wrapper, keeping the wire cage intact.
Step 4: Grip bottle
Loosely grip the bottle’s neck, placing your thumb on top of the cork.
Step 5: Untwist wire cage
Begin untwisting the wire cage, keeping your finger (or palm) firmly over the cork.
Tip
Drape a towel over the bottle’s cork and neck for added protection.
Step 6: Twist bottle & pull down
Don’t twist the cork at all. Keeping a good grip on the cork, and the bottle at a 45-degree angle, twist the fat part of the bottle as you pull the bottle down.
Step 7: Pop and pour
When you hear the tell-tale soft pop, you’re home free—pour away!
