Ideal Wine Handling

Monday, September 21st, 2009


Here are some easy-to-follow guidelines to ensure the proper handling of sparkling wines and to make sure that we retain all those magnificent bubbles that the producer took such great pains to impart to the wine:

1. Chill the wine prior to opening
Shaking a bottle or serving it warm only increases the internal pressure.

2. Hold the bottle away from people and objects

3. Remove the foil.

4. Place a towel or napkin over the cork
This prevents the cork from accidentally flying away and protects your hand in case the bottle should ever crack.

5. Place your thumb or hand firmly over towel and the cork
Leave thumb on cork throughout opening.

6. Looses the wire cage but do not remove it
Removing the wire cage entails taking your thumb off the cork and the cork can fly out all too easily.

7. Hold the bottle at a 45 degree angle
This will expose a larger surface of wine to the atmosphere and ensure less chance of pressure building up at the neck and
wine spilling out of the bottle.

8. Turn or twist the bottle away from the cork
Do not allow the cork to fly out as you will lose part of the contents. A gentle pop or hiss is what should happen.
