Removing the Cork (Safely)!

1) Point the bottle away from yourself and others.

2) After removing the foil, untwist, but do not remove, the wire cage.

3) Place your thumb on top of the bottle to prevent an unexpected pop of the cork.

4) Cover the top of the bottle with a cloth.

5) Tilting at a 45 degree angle, firmly hold the cloth (that’s covering the wire cage and cork) in one hand and slowly turn the bottle with the other. The cork should ease smoothly from the bottle.
