Opening wine made easy
Our step-by-step guide
Opening wine isn’t rocket science! At least, not with these tips from our wine experts. Follow them step by step.
The number one most important thing: the bottle opener. Choose a model that’s easy to handle, preferably one that also has a small foil cutter. Here’s how it’s done:
Remove the foil Make a cut below the bottleneck rim.
Remove the cork Position the tip of the screw at the centre of the cork and carefully screw it in. When the screw is fully lodged in the cork, pull it out using the two-step lever at the side.
Smell the cork Does the cork smell pleasant, or does it give a slight hint of cork taint?
Serve a small mouthful Gently swirl the glass and allow your guest to taste the wine – or take on this important duty yourself.
Cheers!
