I was scared to death opening my first bottle, picturing the cork hitting someone in the head. I watched a few videos and this one helped, especially explaining the 45 degree angle thing. Others said to do it but didn't say why. I did still get a small pop that made me jump a little (don't tell nobody), but no crazy projectile and no spillage. Appreciate it!
@Persephonemybff6 жыл бұрын
Kim Wilson his comment about the pressure is bull, pressure is a force that acts in all directions not just up. The angle is so u don't hit yourself or your guests.

same you normally should do with a large PET bottle of Coke too. Twist the bottle not the cap.
@bluenosepiperflyer4 жыл бұрын
A really excellent video - I learned more from this than anything else I've seen on the subject. In a nutshell: twist the cage fastener 5 or 6 times; leave the cage on, grip the neck tightly with your hand (the cage gives extra traction), and turn the bottle with the OTHER hand, which is holding the relatively wide bottom of the bottle. This end of the bottle gives you much more leverage than the much narrower neck affords. Cork comes off. Brilliant. Archimedes lives. Thanks.
@Lemurian.Quartz2 жыл бұрын
Very well done. Although I’d argue the more important reason you don’t want that loud pop is because it usually is followed by loss of product…. And in my eyes it’s a far sadder situation to waste Champagne than someone getting hit by a rogue cork… but that’s just me 😂

My homemade water kefir would always explode upon opening when the fizz builds over a few days in the fridge. So I figured there must be a way to open it without exploding kinda like a champagne bottle. I keep my kefir in glass bottles with a swing cap. Googled this and voila! That 45-degree angle while holding down the cap (rather than swinging it open) was perfect! Now I don’t have to lose half my kefir due to the usual explosion. Thank you!!!

Just charming! Many years ago I uncorked some champagne at my best friend's wedding. The cork came flying off and we looked high and low for it cleaning up at the end of the night. Where was it? My shirt pocket. It had flown up and deposited itself neatly in the breast pocket of my button down shirt (it was a summer backyard wedding). Who'd a thunk it? But now I know the proper way.

I saw a horrific cork accident that brought me here. Guy opened the champagne bottle which was inadvertently pointed at his girlfriends head. Cork popped hit her in the eye and she was rushed to the emergency room. She lost her sight in that eye. The boyfriend was emotionally scared and went into a deep depression. His girlfriend is learning how to cope with only sight in one eye.

I use the "saber technique" or "getting the pop" in celebrations, but you lose more carbon dioxide, which means less bubbles in the glass and for less time. This method (with no pop) helps champagne to taste better and longer, special for fine dining and good champagnes.

Smug comment about 5.5 turns, then makes ridiculous comment that the pressure is directed upwards. Pressure acts in all directions! The reason that you hold the bottle at 45deg is in order to avoid the the cork hitting you (bottle vertical) or a guest (bottle horizontal) in the face.
