Different Methods For Opening A Bottle of Wine
Almost everyone on the planet has had some experience of opening a bottle of wine as millions are produced every year. The popularity of wine led to a large number of different methods of opening a bottle to be developed. Screw tops are recent innovation and don’t require any tools to open, but there are still plenty of bottle with corks out there so lets take a look at the best ways to get to the good stuff.
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. It does take a little bit of effort however and they are not really suitable for people who have limited strength or dexterity in their hands.
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. During the Napoleonic era, victories were often celebrated with a champagne saberage. This is the process of removing the head of the bottle with a saber and leaving the rest of the bottle in tact. After removing the wire and foil from the head, the cork is soaked in water and then the neck is struck at an angle with the saber, away from the holder and as cleanly as possible. Simple
