How to Open Sparkling Wine

Did you know a Champagne cork can fly up to 50 mph?? — Fast enough to shatter glass!

Here are some expert tips to safely open a bottle of sparkling wine! 🥂

KEEP IT COLD –  Chill your bottle of bubbly in the fridge for at least 12 hours. This lowers the pressure of the bubbles in the bottle, lowering the chance that the cork will fly off before you’re ready!
​
KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE CORK – The wire cage that comes on sparkling wine bottles is there to help keep the cork secure, so once the cage is loosened, be sure to always keep a hand on it and keep the bottle pointed away from anyone in the room!

ANGLE AND TWIST FROM THE BOTTOM – You want to hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle, press down on the top of the cork, and twist from the bottom of the bottle! 

Pat yourself on the back for opening a bottle of sparkling wine like a pro and keep the celebration flowing!
