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.

When opening a bottle of champange you should always untwist the wire hook remove the wire and foil and then?

My method of opening a bottle seems to work. I use my thumbs on both sides of the cork and slowly move the cork up and working it out of the bottle. I have never had one pop out or shoot out the champagne, but I think the key is that I do it slowly and that allows the pressure in the bottle to become less as the cork is moved up. Or try this (depending on the results you want to achieve): After removing the wire and foil, the cork can removed two ways, the "Hollywood-movie" way ("winning-team-locker-room method) which is to grip the bottle at the neck, shake it up and push the cork out with the ends of your thumbs (while aiming the bottle at something that is not living). This will cause a great pop, and you will lose most of the champagne in a great gush. If, however, you actually wish to drink the champagne, then open it the civilized (classy-restaurant) way, by wrapping a tea towel around the neck. Hold the end of the towel over the cork with one hand, while tilting the bottle slightly and aiming it away from living things, then, while gripping the cork with the toweled hand, twist the bottle (not the cork) with the other hand, and voila! The cork will pop out, and most of the champagne should remain in the bottle if you have chilled it sufficiently and have not shaken the bottle.
