Champagne & Sparkling Wine Club

Similar to a bottle of wine, a standard bottle of champagne or sparkling wine typically provides around 5 glasses. However, if you opt for flutes, you might squeeze out an extra glass or two as they tend to hold less liquid.

The glass can matter if you want to get the best experience. But what matters even more is that you enjoy yourself. So it's not something to stress over. Your bubbles will taste great in any glass (except maybe a red solo cup). That said, if you have options, here are some basic guidelines: Champagne Tulip: These glasses are made specifically for champagnes and are what we use most in our home. White Wine Glass: Surprisingly, these are the best choice and generally equal to using a champagne tulip. So go ahead and use what you already have! Coupe: Fun, festive, and very Gatsby-esque, but be careful not to spill in a crowd. Also, drink quickly because the bubbles tend to dissipate rapidly in a coupe. Flutes: They bubble forever due to their narrow shape. However, this same shape makes it difficult to experience the true flavors and aromas of champagne. Flutes are great for proseccos and champagne cocktails though! Remember, the glass you choose shouldn't overshadow the joy of sipping champagne. So pick one that feels right to you and let the bubbles work their magic! Cheers!

Opening a bottle of champagne is always a feel-good moment, and there's no need to be nervous. Here's how to make it easier and avoid any unexpected cork encounters: Remove the foil and twist open the muselet (the wire cage), but leave it on the bottle. Very important! Once the cage is undone, always keep a hand or finger on the cork so you can feel if it starts coming out on its own. Hold the bottle at a 45° angle, always pointed away from any person. Hold the cork firmly (leaving the wire cage on makes this easier) and slowly twist the bottle, not the cork. This will give you better control over the cork's release. As the cork comes out, it should emit a gentle hiss or the sound of lightly popping the inside of your cheek with a finger. The alternative and faster method of opening a bottle is using a saber, but we'll cover sabering in a different section 🙂

Ah, champagne! I could talk for hours and write pages about what it is and why it's so amazing to drink, but this is an FAQ and requires a super abbreviated answer. Champagne is a sparkling wine coming from the region of Champagne, France. It is produced using the champagne method, it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, creating those delightful bubbles we can't get enough of. But champagne is more than just a drink – it's a mood-lifter, a day-brightener. It has the power to make a great day better and to turn a bad day around. So why not make every day better and have a glass of this effervescent elixir? Joining our champagne club you'll embark on a journey of discovery and delight.

Sparkling wines can last for several days. Yes, it's true! Just like its cousin, still wine, most champagne and sparkling wines can easily last 3 days or even longer. Proseccos & Pet Nats last a little less time but still a respectable 2-3 days. How? Save your bubbles and bottles by using a proper Champagne Stopper immediately after pouring and by keeping the bottle cold. No reason to hesitate in popping a bottle open. You can enjoy your champagne and don't have to feel pressured (pun intended, go ahead and groan but admit it's funny😆) to finish it in one sitting.
