Your elegance was so lovely to experience. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge ❤

[@NashvilleTravelConcierge]

I'm the concierge of a popular boutique hotel in Nashville and beginning this weekend we will be serving champagne to guests as they check-in. I need this and I will check out your other videos. Thank you.

[@siobhanveronica7533]

This video is really helpful, Emerald. I usually get overwhelmed and worried about popping the cork, but I feel a lot more confident now. Great work!

[@timothysamuel3298]

Am a waiter and I love my job and really want to be professional your video is very helpful I appreciate it

[@LMJ914]

Very informative especially not popping the cork. I always enjoyed hearing the pop. The twisting back and forth of the bottle is the secret. Excellent presentation, love the Grand National poke.

Jaysus Rory - I never knew I cared so much about champagne but I was riveted!! Well done, very easy to watch :)

[@platinumsky845]

The way I was taught, when it came to pouring, was to hold the glass itself and tilt it toward the champagne bottle so it ran down the inside surface of the glass which reduces the agitation that causes the foaming, making a faster, cleaner, and more consistent pour. Also, very interesting demonstration on the polish of the glass, those impurities and residues create nucleation points for the carbonation to expand more readily.

[@treez439]

That's how a barman will often do it for speed. However, a sommelier will never hold the glass, not ever.

[@duk2k]

Thanks man. This is very informative.

[@RufusTheRadical]

if you are holding the glass, would you tilt it? Thanks for the great video!

[@hazzaplayz808]

Yes,it prevents overflow,and decreases the bubbles

[@seanflynn1714]

Show us how to open a bottle with a boot, back of a knife and blow torch next please! I can make a cameo to show how it's done! Also congrats on the video mate. Very well made.

@@TheIrishWineGuy I’m starting the WSET level 3 in July. I have been enjoying the WSET course s. I learn so much about grapes and regions I have never heard of and I like trying these new wines. When I started level 1 last year, I obviously knew nothing about wine to knowing the difference between wines in northern Rhône and wines in souther Rhône, the latitude where most vineyards are placed etc.

[@numanuma20]

Idk who does it, but I think that you were supposed to lean the glass to honour the champagne.

[@robertstancer4469]

Whoever taught this joker to pour champagne wants career advice. This is the WORST way to pour champagne. Why? simple. The product is effervescent - bubbly. That is its whole ethos, that's why it is made like that. To pour vertically into ANY glass will naturally "wash" those bubbles out of the product. In effect "flattening" it. Next time you buy a can of Coke/Pepsi/Dr Peppers see what happens if to pour it directly into a glass and see how quick the product goes flat. To pour properly, tilt the glass over and pour the champagne down the side of the glass therefore minimising the loss of bubbles. In the champagne world a champagne is judged by many things but the major thing is the size and amount of bubbles. You will know if you buy a $40 bottle and a $2000 bottle.

[@robertstancer4469]

@@TheIrishWineGuy Don't need it, I KNOW how to open and pour a bottle of sparkling wine. Perhaps you need it.

[@treez439]

A barman will do this for speed, but a sommelier will never tilt the glass, not ever.

[@robertstancer4469]

I think you do. I don't need to. I was taught the finer points of Champagne in Reims, France. Do you even know where that is?

[@treez439]

You think I do what? You don't need to to what? Your reply makes no sense. Everybody knows where Reims is, and everybody knows where Champagne is made. Visiting there as a tourist (I'm guessing American) and paying for guided tour of Vranken-Pommery or Taittinger or Ruinart doesn't make you sophisticated and worldly. Every tour bus stops there. You learned the finer points of nothing. Stick to your Coke and Dr Pepper.

[@robertstancer4469]

@@treez439I am not surprised it doesn't make sense. The way you pour champagne shows me that. Would it make any difference where i come from or whether i am trained in wine perchance? You claim you are trained in wine. Were you off sick when the course did champagne?
