How To Open Champagne, Champagne Storage, Champagne Advice

Champagne Etiquette

Champagne is best served in a flute or tulip glass after being cooled for at least two hours prior to serving. The bottle should be opened carefully with one hand on the body of the condensation free bottle while you twist the bottle and hold the cork firmly.
