Whats the best way to open a bottle of sparkling wine?
Make sure the bottle is well chilled. This will make opening the bottle less explosive since carbon dioxide remains in solution at colder temperatures. Remove the top part of the foil and the metal clasp. Hold the bottle at an angle away from you and anybody else! Grip the cork firmly with one hand ensuring your thumb is positioned over the top of the cork in order to stop it exploding out and hurting someone. With the other hand, twist the bottom of the bottle carefully easing the cork free ensuring it releases slowly and quietly!
