How to open a bottle of Champagne the right way

Serving Champagne wine

Step One: tilt the bottle slightly, always pointing the bottle safely away from yourself or any other person; then untwist the metal loop to loosen the wire cage
Step Two: remove the wire cage and foil wrapping, meanwhile keeping a firm grip on the cork
Step Three: still holding the cork firmly, gently rotate the bottle (NOT the cork) with your other hand so the cork comes sliding – not popping – out.
