If you are serving champagne at a high class event, you should remove the cork quietly. If you are serving it at a loud party on New Years Eve, let that cork fly across the room!

Wine is best served in long-stemmed glasses or tulip shaped glasses. This special shape helps enhance the bubbles and wine aromas.

Champagne is a sparkling wine but should not be served as warm as a red or white wine. It should be served a bit cooler around 42-48 degrees F.

To get this temperature, you should take a bottle of wine that isn’t chilled and put it in an ice bucket for about a half hour.

If you don’t have an ice bucket, you’ll have to put your champagne in the fridge for about 3 hours. Leaving the champagne in the fridge overnight is not a good idea because it will become too cold.

Serving champagne in the proper glass and at the proper temperature will bring out the best flavors and aromas.

Enjoy!
