A bottle of high-quality wine can add a lot to the holiday spirit, but to enjoy a good wine, the first problem to be solved is to open it. But it is not easy to open the cork of wine. Opening wine requires skill, so some people say that opening wine is an art. The next steps will show you how to open a bottle of wine perfectly.

Step 1: To open a bottle of wine, first use a knife along the raised part of the bottle mouth to cut off the rubber cap sealed on the bottle mouth. Wipe the top of the bottle with a clean white napkin afterwards, as the wine may have collected some dust from ageing for a while.

The first time you open the bottle, it is a bit difficult, you can practice slowly; then make a small cut upright, peel off the rubber cap, and generally skilled people will remove the bottle cap with 2-3 knives. The second step is to open the thimble of the hippocampus knife (the metal part of the spiral), align the drill bit with the center of the cork and press it lightly into the cork, and rotate it into the cork. If the cork is broken, wood chips will easily fall into the bottle, which will affect the wine quality.

The third step is to pull up the handle forcefully, and under the pulling force of leverage (two force points, one is the clamping part of the metal head and the bottle protrusion, and the other is the contact point between the screw needle and the center of the cork), the cork is slowly pulled out out. When halfway is pulled out, change the second bayonet of the metal joint and repeat the operation of the second step.

The fourth step, when the cork is almost completely pulled out, you can directly hold the cork with your hand, and finally pull it out steadily to prevent the wine from shaking and splashing due to instability. When the wine is stored, you will hear a "bang" sound, and the cork is moist and elastic. The whole process of opening the bottle should be kept as quiet as possible, which is the etiquette of opening the bottle. In addition, if you are using a butterfly-type bottle opener, then when the screw cone is drilled in, the handles on both sides will automatically lift up. When it reaches the top, press both handles down at the same time, and the cork will be lifted out. . Wipe the mouth of the bottle with a clean table cloth after removing the cork, which should be placed in a small dish.
