Remove the Champagne bottle cork

Grip the neck of the bottle firmly in one hand and the cork in the other. Using slow but firm motions, gently twist the cork up and out of the bottle. You should hear a satisfying pop, but there will be no dangerous explosion.

All that is left to do now is pour your Champagne into a couple of flutes and enjoy.
