SoYouWanna pour champagne correctly?
- Once your glasses are in place, hold the bottle by placing your thumb into the dimple at the bottom of the bottle, which is known as the "punt."
- Splay your fingers across the barrel of the bottle. Though this grip appears precarious, just try it and you'll see that you can retain a firm hold.
- Grasping it thus, wipe the rim of the bottle with a napkin to remove any dirt.
- Then pour a small splash into the bottom of each glass.
- Then return to each glass and fill it two-thirds full with champagne.
This process will avoid the dreaded foaming over of the champagne. Remember: apart from decapitating someone with the cork, the most embarrassing move is to pour the precious fluid all over the floor.
