With its bubbles and festive sparkle, champagne is a wine for holidays and special occasions. "Bubbly" is often used to celebrate memorable events, such as anniversaries. A novice can serve champagne with class and style with just a little practice and know-how.
Instructions
- 1
Place the champagne in an ice bucket with a mixture of half ice and half water for about 25 minutes, or refrigerate the champagne for 3 or 4 hours. The taste and odor of the champagne is best if the temperature is approximately 45 degrees.
2Remove enough foil to allow you to remove the twisted-wire cap. Keep your finger over the cork, as it can pop out involuntarily.
3Ease the cork out gently by holding the cork and turning the bottle in one direction. Hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle pointing away from yourself and other people. The cork should come off with a "sigh."
4Wipe the neck of the bottle with a clean linen cloth before pouring.
5Serve champagne in tulip-shaped glasses or tall-fluted glasses. Pour about an inch into the glasses and allow the froth to settle. Top off the glasses, being careful not to over-fill. Return the bottle to the ice bucket until you are ready to serve again.
