How to Open Champagne (Without it Exploding!)

[@artemdigital]

I had a champagne opening phobia since the childhood, so I was a complete virgin in it. And I’m almost 30yo! Thanks to this video I just opened my first ever champagne bottle and it all went so smoothly and I was in full control!! Eventually it did the “pop” but the cork didn’t fly away and stayed in my hand. Thank you so much!! 😊😊

[@Winefolly]

I’m so proud of you!!! Congratulations, it’s opened up a new sparkling world!

[@lukasino145]

Thank you so much ! I've always hated opening these bottles. This was the first time I managed to open it without bubbles coming out and it just went so smoothly. Thanks again :)

[@Winefolly]

You're welcome!!

[@dawnk3610]

I've always had to have my husband open the bottles because 1) I was afraid of the cork flying off and doing damage and 2) I have arthritis and have never had the strength to do it. But since my husband is away this time (New Years Eve) I had to find a way to open the bottle myself. This was the first video I came to and I followed your instructions and 'ta da' I was able to it with no trouble at all my very first time. Now I can have that occasional glass of wine or champagne whenever I feel the need. Thank you very much!

[@bbyckes100]

Haha me right now

[@fuckserotonin]

literally lmao

[@sallymj8957]

Wow, that’s amazing. And surprisingly not scary. I have held onto a couple bottles of champagne for xxx years - knowing I needed to open open them before discarding. Thank you for a video and directions so easy, even people who rarely drink (and English majors) can do it safely. Cheers!

[@All-Outta-Bubblegum]

I am shocked this worked so well. Didn't spill a single drop and was very satisfying to open. Thank you!

[@tyramail]

I remember an episode of Frasier way back in the day, where he always said to rotate the bottle, not the cork! I'm glad this still holds up. Great Video!

[@MellyCorzo]

This video was super helpful! Easy directions, and you actually showed opening it. I watched the first video on google and the guy doesn't even show himself opening it. I just needed a visual!

[@dawnphoenix3138]

I HATE opening bottles of bubbly so much always ask someone else to do it. I find myself on NYE of 2020 without company (thanks COVID), and this video has made me feel so much better! Thank you!

[@kinfongyeung5400]

the cork literally exploded to the other side of the room, great tutorial btw

[@patelpelat4658]

Bottle should never touch the glass...

[@emmylene62]

Thank you! Very concise explanation. It worked for me! I just opened my first bottle of champagne. :)

[@Winefolly]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[@sambam4837]

Thank you! This helped me during isolation boredom 🤣

[@sp00f34]

Now I can open one of these with confidence. Gonna be the man no doubt

[@robbrien8506]

It worked! Only a bit of pop. Cork fell on floor nearby and only about a tbs of bubbly came out. For a beginner I'm happy I didn't lose an eyeball or some adjacent drywall.

[@kimcannellelait8740]

Thank you so much! I was really afraid of opening champagne bottle but your method worked greatly!

[@esztipetrovics3570]

brilliant tutorial. I thought my hands aren't strong enough to execute it like you, but it worked out just like in the video apart from a bit louder pop.

[@TarynsTime]

I did it! My pop a tiny bit louder and I barely turned the bottle before the pop, but didn't lose a drop. Thank you!

[@karjar314]

Thank you thank you thank you this video! I'll struggled so many times trying to open Champagne bottles. This made it SO EASY!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Winefolly]

yes! so glad this technique helped you!

[@cassiemarlena1938]

thank you so much!!!!! I am way too jumpy to open bubbly but I love drinking it so much

[@louel9272]

I always just used to point it at a 45 degree angle towards the ceiling and let the cork fly 😊

[@jaseershahanaz405]

You are a Great TEACHER ,LOVE YOU

[@Winefolly]

Thank you! 😃

[@FromRussia_with_Luv]

Thank you!! This was my first time and only took 2 attempts. Happy New Year!

[@Elchamuc020]

Thanks now i can chill in my room without making a mess or any noise and quietly turn up

[@ICHMUSSMALPIPI]

i can't believe this worked!! thank you so much. Last time it went all over the wall and window and cleaning was a mess

[@Sphinx3009]

Thank you, worked great! Happy New Year!!!

[@Winefolly]

Happy new year!

[@TeaGirlMedium0]

I did it🎉. Thank you so so much. The popping sound always makes me scream for some reason.

[@mikkixo2242]

Thank you so much. Took away my anxiety of the pop

[@mariajara6791]

Thank you!!! I just did it. It was so easy!!!

[@zeynepterzi1302]

Best tutorial ever!

[@Winefolly]

Glad it helped!

[@lindatheus1313]

This helped lmao I was scared as hell and I had a little difficulty because of the moisture but thank you thank you

[@sydneyhanenberger915]

cork went flying but no explosion so thats a win !!

[@me_theslowlearner8652]

I am gonna try it today.... let's go get a bottle !!

[@gasstationking]

worked on the first try, cheers

[@nafis9465]

THAT WORKED!

Wow. Not a single comment on how great she looks with that hairstyle.

Thank you! Enjoyed a nice rosè.

[@foxiiroxii4925]

Thanks for the tip

[@eruditeban]

Thanks for the tutorial. Worked perfectly for a first timer

[@Elohim05]

Great video! Thank you, Madeline.

[@BURN-ADDiCT]

Very clear, thank you very much!

[@Winefolly]

You are welcome!

[@앨리스-d7c]

girlll that was my first try and it went so smoothly thanks to you ❤❤ no spilling or anything damn

[@Winefolly]

Yes! Congratulations... like a pro!

[@randomchannel97]

Thank you

[@RootedInCT]

Thank you that was sooo simple ❤

[@thinkuncagrizzthinktv7975]

Thanks for this I been opening with a towel and a knife and got bubbles, and wasted champagne so I just like release the pressure like I'm normally releasing pressure from a truck from a hot after idling engine...

[@Winefolly]

Hahahah! Funny analogy!

[@xannyphantom2857]

“shake it up a little bit” *shakes it like a whipped cream can*

[@painof7]

Thanks for a life long skill

[@kaylalucky]

I followed your advice and the cork popped on the ceiling and it hurt my thumb so much! The wine is great though !

[@jenniferb8981]

This worked perfectly!!

[@scottgardner9110]

Have always done the 45 degree angle but never left the cage on. Is there a science based reason for leaving it on when removing the cork? Or is it more etiquette. Love your content and thank you for what you do.

[@bennygeypens]

The 45 degree is only to limit the damage if the cork would shoot out. The pressure hitting the glass argument makes no sense. Why leaving the cage on? SImply because something needs to hold down the cork at all times. If one removes the cage there will be a moment when this is not the case. Etiquette has nothing to do with it.

[@dianarios6837]

I did it I did it!!! Cheers! 🍷

[@judilee1475]

excellent!

[@Chachoncha]

thank you it was helpful

[@Winefolly]

You're welcome!

[@TOM-C.]

I don't open a bottle often, but next time I can avoid the cork flying across the room with the champagne following it, thanks! 😁😎👍✌

[@VlogsbyAteC]

It works! Thank you! 🙂

[@miafraher7367]

Oh i just know I’m going to fuck this up, i really need some parental supervision despite being nearly 20😂

[@lilhydrate]

thank you so much !!!!!

[@Winefolly]

You're welcome!

[@jimmyf6145]

I turned the bottle a thousand times with my thumb pressed against the cork and it would not pop out, maybe my finger was too hard fearing that the cork will shoot out. I ended up drinking a bottle of water instead. Isn’t that nice esp when I was dying for a bottle of bubbles. LOL

[@lincolnmicrophonellc]

Bless up 🙏

[@logan5326]

The cork ricocheted against one side of the kitchen wall, went behind the toaster, bounced back on the countertop and hit my grandma on the eye! We are all now at the hospital trying to save grandma’s glass eye.

At least she did not get run over by a reindeer like my Grandma!

Stellar presentation.

[@Winefolly]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@LMusk]

You're absolutely adorable!

[@sanja0603]

I did it 🥰🥰🥰

[@Legitpenguins99]

Finnally! An informative video on the subject that doesnt reek of pretentiousness or have background music that sounds like its from a 90's p0rno. All jokes aside, thank you

[@liamandmia8969]

My question is will this work for a bottle of Martinelli Sparkling Apple Cider because I bought a few bottles and they all exploded.

[@robbrien8506]

It does work. I used it on some Mayador Cidra (cider) and it was fine. Small pop and bit of fizz but NO scary drama.

[@midwestrob8408]

Good vid, got a loud pop but no spill 👌

[@Crabbycrabluvu]

Ily

[@xplicit2734]

nice

[@charlesharalson487]

Why is there two different ways of pouring it out. From what I read the correct way is to fill just enough to put the tip of your finger under the liquid. Let it sit for a second. Then quickly pour the rest.

[@ElSenorJoe]

Thanks I didn’t blow a hole in my apartment

[@zach1323z]

it's called having your champagne cold genius

[@ManeeVaughn]

Thanks for the tip! By the way, you're super cute! 😊

[@r1dds]

Hold the bottle at 45°, because the pressure only goes up, in to the side of the bottle not out the hole. Where the pressure differential occurs..... 🤦🏻‍♂

[@Winefolly]

Ha! It works! It could be because of the increased surface area… feel free to share the physical reason why it works :) and definitely try it for yourself

[@krolpower83]

Wish me luck guys 😏

[@beebobean_7286]

Almost lost deposit and an eyeball :) bed is soaked!

[@TheJaymoCrimeWave]

Mine still turned into an IED

[@typerightseesight]

almost poked my eye out and put a hole in the ceiling.

I glad I see this video otherwise 😅😊🙈📸📷😂🤣😍🙂

[@EmiliziukasLt]

as i was watching i had the cap off half in one hand in my shirt and it popped while in my shirt and im all wet...

[@gw6667]

Lol, pressure doesn't operate "opposite to gravity" and point "up." That wasn't a pop, it was a controlled release of gas. smdh

[@Winefolly]

you shake that thing! We shake wine. ;)

[@gw6667]

@@Winefolly That also makes as much sense as "pressure pointing up"

[@lqst5087]

I'm doing this because I'm drinking my brother's and I have a full house

it went everywhere T-T oops....

[@alayahwhitaker8357]

Followed this tutorial exactly and it still exploded /:

[@Winefolly]

Did you make sure to super chill your wine first? If it's warm, it will explode!

[@dionrivera1163]

No pop. Boo!

[@Winefolly]

I know right? Well, pros do it like that for safety.. you can let it pop a little ;)
