How to open Champagne safely at midnight

1. Make sure the bottle is well chilled. Warm Champagne foams over and the cork comes out with more force.
2. Remove the foil and loosen the wire cage, keeping your thumb on top of the cork.
3. Point the bottle away from people, especially in a crowded room.
4. Hold the cork and slowly twist the bottle, not the cork, until the cork eases out with a gentle sigh rather than a loud pop.
5. Pour a little into each glass first, let the foam settle, then top up.

Plan ahead for 31 December

New Year's Eve is a busy delivery day. If you are planning a party, order a few days early so your bottles have time to chill properly before the countdown. Message us on WhatsApp if you need a specific delivery time.

What is a good Champagne for New Year's Eve?
