What is the best way to pop the cork on a champaign bottle?
The safest (controlling the cork) way I have found is to wrap the cork with the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand and rotate the bottle away from the cork with your other hand. You still get the satisfying pop and the cork will stay in your strong hand. I think the safest way to uncork a bottle is to Place a dish towel over the bottle, firmly grasping the bottom part plus holding the bottle firmly. Slowly turn out the cork, and if it does 'fly' out of your hand it will get lodged in the centre of the towel, and not flying across the room knocking over the urn of your Grandparents sitting on the mantle. Hope this helps I have heard to turn the bottle and not the cork. let gravity be your friend.
