- During the entire process of opening a Champagne bottle, keep the cork pointed away from small children, crystal chandeliers, and your own eyeballs.
- Use a clean napkin, dish towel, or paper towel to gently coax the cork from the bottle. It will help to catch the cork as it attempts to catapult across the atmosphere and also to soak up any unexpected bubbly overflow.
- Do not use your bare hands to yank the cork out and never ever use your thighs to clamp the bottle steady.
- Tip the glass to a 60* as pour the Champagne in to help prevent overflow.
- Put the Champagne on ice and refill glasses frequently
