Is this the correct way of opening a bottle of champagne at a wedding reception?
September 4th, 2008I’d say that in more than half of the total number of wedding receptions I attended, the opening of the champagne bottle is one of the most uncomfortable moments for the groom, because of the potential problems in opening it.
Of course the likelihood of this problem cropping up could’ve been minimised if one has had adequate practice, but I’d say most of us Sabahans are not really regular champagne drinkers, hence it’s not actually part of our culture.

Will surely blog about them sooner or later…..
LOL! even the wifey also helped to open the cork.
But, according to my ‘f&b-trained’ husband, the proper way to open the champagne bottle is not to shake the bottle vigorously like that (or like most grooms did)… if the cork popped open, habis the champagne tinggal half bottle saja lagi. The cork is supposed to be loosen using cork opener prior opening. Normally, the person who opens it only needs to push up the cork with slight force using his/her thumb.
Thanks. See… that’s a beauty of blogging: I learn something new every day!
Now that’s a scary way to uncork. Luckily the bottle didn’t slip. Would be a waste.
