Here are some useful tips for the best champagne practices to enjoy a glass of bubbly.
Best Temperature
The best way to chill your bottle is to fill an ice bucket with ice and one-third water and allow your bottle to cool for 15-20 minutes. Shooting for between 45- and 50-degrees Fahrenheit is a good range.
Best Way to Open
When opening your bottle, make sure you keep the cage on. When removing the cork, hold the top of the cage with your thumb to keep the cork in place. Untwist the wire six times. Then hold the cage and cork together in one hand while using the other to twist the bottle’s base in a circular direction away from the cork to slowly work the cork out.
Best Way of Pouring
When pouring champagne, only fill your glass about one-third of the way full. If you over-pour, it will warm up too quickly.
Best Way to Hold the Glass
Always remember to hold your glass by the stem and not by the bowl. Because your hands will warm the champagne up too quickly. Holding the glass by the stem will make you elegant!
The stopper
In between pours, use a good champagne stopper to preserve all the delicious bubbles. A stopper will keep an open bottle fresh for about 1 day, in case you don’t finish in one sitting.
Best Foods to Pair with Champagne
Champagne pairs beautifully with foods like fish, meat, grilled vegetables, and risotto. Oysters and caviar are fantastic with champagne. Also, casual foods like truffle fries, fried chicken and cheese are delicious with Champagne. Many people think to enjoy Champagne as an aperitif. But that is not the only way to drink it!
