Different Techniques For Getting A Wine Bottle Open
Wine is sold in every country on the planet, and is a multi-million dollar industry. The popularity of wine led to a large number of different methods of opening a bottle to be developed. Screw tops are recent innovation and don’t require any tools to open, but there are still plenty of bottles with corks out there so lets take a look at the best ways to get to the good stuff.
Traditional Corkscrew – These have been around for a long time now and are still as effective as they ever were. Most people have some form of corkscrew in their home as part of a tableware sets, and if you know how to use one you can get a bottle of wine open in no time. You might struggle however if you lack elementary hand strength or finger control though.
Modern device – Advancements in technology have thrown up a number of different devices for making bottle opening a great deal easier. Some of these rely on advanced mechanics, like the winemaster corkscrew, which turn a straight forwards movement into a twisting one. There are also a whole host of electrical bottle corkers but these take all the fun out of it
Saber – If you are the adventurous kind or a bit of a show off then you can saber a bottle of wine open. During the Napoleonic era, victories were often celebrated with a champagne saberage. This basically involved taking the head of a champagne bottle cleanly and without shattering the glass. Just make sure there aren’t any crystal vases or bowls around when you swing that saber You also need soak the bottle neck in water first to expand the cork, then take the foil and wire off, before striking the top of the neck in a slicing motion, ideally way from you. Simple
All you need now is a couple of wine glasses and some good company, and you’re laughing
