QuestionHow do I open a small champagne bottle?ElliotCommunity AnswerAfter you've taken off the cover that keeps it in place, hold it away from your body tilted slightly. You definitely don't want the cork to shoot up into your face or even into your hand, so when you're holding the bottle and pushing it with your thumb, there shouldn't be anything covering the bottle. Use both of your hands, one hand holding the bottle firmly and your dominant hand wrapping around the very top so that it is resting comfortably against the palm of your hand. Use the base of your thumb and push the cork, rather than pull it.
