It's magic

...Or physics or chemistry or something, but did you know that if you happen to open a bottle of sparkling wine and don't manage to finish it - I know, I say the craziest things - a teaspoon placed in the neck of the bottle - handle side in obviously. You'd have a devil of a time getting the head of the spoon in first - maintains the sparkle of the wine!!

Amazing huh??

Debs has been informing of this fact for months, and I've been sceptical I'll admit, but this week - tried it for the first time and, I'll be blowed, it actually works, a bottle of wine opened on Tuesday is still fizzy on Friday, 3days later. Marvellous!!

  1. wow--thanks for sharing! My boyfriend and I were going to take champagne with us to central park last week but we didn't since we thought we wouldn't finish it all, and would then end up wasting it.

  6. Hi Kitty, I'm assuming it's something to do with the metal, I'm betting plastic spoons don't work as well :-)

  10. Wow, that's interesting :) Must be the metal in the spoon that adds some fizz to the bubbles
