How to open a bottle of Sparkling Tea
2/5
Use the designed tab to move the access foil in an elegant way
Once the foil is removed, the cage and corked are exposed and you may remove the cage carefully – while always keeping your thumb or your other hand on the cork in case it pops of by itself. You may use a napkin or a kitchen towel to put over the cage and cork, this creates another measure safety that can help prevent the cork from flying off like a bullet.
Tip: If the wine was in an ice bath, ensure the bottle is dried off so the bottle doesn’t sleep out of your hand.

Twist the bottle – not the cork
Once the cage is either loosened or removed, begin to extract the cork. Keep pressure on the cork while twisting the bottle. The best way to hold a bottle while the cork is being removed is in a 45-degree angle. This avoids the “popping” from being too loud and the tea from exploding out of the bottle as the cork is removed.
Tip: If you twist the cork, instead of the bottle, the cork can break inside the bottle.
Notice! Avoid using a wine opener to extract the cork.
