HOW TO OPEN A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
Wrap a bottle with a clean towel and hold it firmly in one hand. (The towel will help keep it from slipping out of your grasp while opening and pouring.) With your free hand undo the wire around the cork. Be careful to position the cork away from your face, your guests, pets and expensive breakable objects. Then carefully use both thumbs to apply pressure and push out. Make sure to twist slowly while doing this. Savvy Tip: Since it’s a little hard for small hands to maneuver the bottle in the aforementioned way, you can also hold the cork in one hand and hold the bottle by its indentation in the other. Slowly turn the bottle and the cork will pop out.
