Is There More Than One Way To Open A Wine Bottle
Wine is one of the most popular drinks in the world, with tens of millions of bottles being sold every year. The popularity of wine led to a large number of different methods of opening a bottle to be developed. Although the demand for these bottle opening devices had dropped recently due to the increase in screw top bottles, there are still a good number of corks out there that need removing and various different ways to do it.
Traditional Corkscrews – 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 their own tableware sets, and if you know how to use one you can get a bottle of wine open in no time. There is effort involved in this method though and you need to have good use of your hands if you are to succeed.
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. Battery powered devices are also becoming quite popular now but some would argue that if you’ve got one of these you might as well just buy screw tops
Saber – If you are the adventurous kind or a bit of a show off then you can saber a bottle of wine open. Victories where celebrated in Napoleonic times by taking a sabre to a bottle of champagne. 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
