Opening and storing champagne: read our tasting tips
Are you planning on opening a bottle of champagne to make cocktails, but not sure where to begin? Never fear, we’ve got some foolproof tips to help you!
To open your bottle of champagne, start by peeling off the foil seal and removing the wire cage. Hold the bottle firmly by the base, not the neck. Use your other hand to grip the cork, then turn the bottle slowly while keeping it pointed away from you at a 30-45° angle. Keep rotating the bottle rather than the cork until you hear a gentle “pop”.
If there is still champagne left in the bottle when you have finished preparing your cocktails, you can return the open bottle to the refrigerator, or else keep it chilled in an ice bucket. There is no need to put a stopper in: champagne keeps its bubbles for several hours after it has been opened. You can always serve the rest with your meal.
