Champagne Lesson

Today I got a lesson in pouring champagne, or any sparkling wine. Tilting the glass while pouring champagne is *forbidden!* For beer or cider, OK, but not sparkling wine!
The acceptable method:

  • Pour the champagne, and let the bubbles (mousse) form to about 2/3 of the glass. 
  • Wait until the bubbles start to dissipate. 
  • Then pour more champagne slowly - the liquid will increase, but the level of bubbles will stay the same.

Voilà, you have a full glass of bubbly!
