Better to take precautions to prevent the cork from popping.

How to do

remove muselet in 6 half turns

2. Unscrew the clamp from the muselet by making 6 half-turns.

3. Remove the muselet.

4. Wrap the cap and neck with a towel.

5. Hold the bottle securely and orient the bottle so that no one is hurt if the cork comes off on its own.

6. Hold the cap and with your free hand, turn the bottle very slowly. Do not twist the cap because that risks breaking it.

7. When you feel the cork starting to come out, push down on it to prevent it from popping.

8. Hold the stopper at the edge of the neck for a few seconds. This way, if the champagne starts to foam, the cork will drop it back into the bottle.

9. After a few seconds, completely remove the cap from the bottle.

- Did you know that all the clamps on champagne bottles open in 6 half-turns?

- Better to avoid popping your champagne cork making a lot of noise. Even if this sound is synonymous with celebration, you are wasting champagne and in addition, it sparkles less.

- Be careful: if you do not control the opening of the bottle cap, it can start suddenly with great power. It may then hurt someone.

- Know that the crystal flutes enhance the champagne and keep it more sparkling. The more their shape is elongated, the more the ballet of bubbles rising to the surface is pleasant to watch. The fine aroma of champagne is also more concentrated.

- Never refrigerate champagne flutes. Champagne should be served at a temperature between 7 ° C and 9 ° C. If the champagne is served in cold flutes, it may be struck (too cold).

- Prefer flutes to cups. Why ? Because the surface in contact with the air is greater in the cups and therefore the champagne sparkles less.

- How to choose your champagne? The smaller the bubbles, the better the champagne.
