“You actually wanna drink that” lmfao valid point never though about all the gases and probably flavour you lose letting it blow the cork of and foam up
doing this with a hand towel over the cork and cage is how I like to do it. Also helps soak up any potential spills
Doesn’t matter how you do it - mark is showing you the proper way
@@chrisd4650 chill😢
Oh my gosh, thank you! It wasn't working and just hurt my hand. The towel was absolutely needed for me!
Firmly grasp it in your hand
FIRMLY GRASP IT 😡
patrick, fix him up while i find him a good specimen
That's what she said
“Fiiiiirmly grasp it” -Patrick
Oh no I broke it! 😭
Firmly grasp it
You saved the day for me tonight. Stubborn cork did not want to twist off! Happy New Year!
Firmly grasp it!!!
The color on this wine is nice
Thank you! Before this video I was just smashing the bottle on the ground and lapping at the wine covered glass shards, this seems so much simpler and I won't get any blood in my wine anymore!
Now this one smart man, that’s Australian wine.
I always do this with a towel so my hand doesn’t get shredded by the cage. Because sometimes they have more pressure
Mark is a top dog - he’s showing you how to do it correctly- doesn’t matter how you do it
@@chrisd4650 thanks for commenting that twice chris! You the man!
@@R0FLC4T5 seperate people - you didn’t tell the second person thanks for commenting twice did you? I just don’t understand why people feel like they need to speak and add their two cents
@@chrisd4650so strange when other people comment on the internet. It really should only be you making comments
@@maxwaldor5132 it would most certainly be a better place - thank you
Thank you!
Gracias compa
Thanks!
Nice did it AWESOME 🎉
What kind of eye glasses are those? You look great!
Pro tip: Do NOT fire the cork at the ceiling. There is a better way. Lol
I personally did it while near blackout drunk, just put my thumb on the cork and flicked it up Shot out but no foam. Got very lucky in that aspect. Dented the ceiling though
I just open my window and fire the cork out of it. I'll consider using a table cloth next time as other commenters have suggested.
I was today years old when I realized what the cage is. I have been taking it off before popping the cork in a towel for years.

Can’t wait to show my girlfriend just for her not to notice a difference
What do think about cellaring gran reserva Rioja? Is it worth it or just drink it on release?
Rioja is certainly one of the great wines of the world and top examples of the wine can age for decades with ease. The cool thing about Rioja is that the Spanish government has aging requirements for the wines depending on the quality level, so the wines won’t even hit the shelves until they’ve been aged in the cellars for a few years. Riserva quality must be aged at least 3 years before release, and Gran Reserva must be aged at least 5 years before release. And producers can choose to age for longer, and they often do. So to answer your question, you can absolutely drink a Gran Reserva upon release as it already has 5+ years of age on it. But you could also choose to age it even longer if you’d like. You really can’t go wrong!
Is there a chance that you guys try on this show Georgian wine? There is petnat, amber white orange and red ones
State, or country?
That's $15 in Australia. How much is it there?
"Firmly grasp it"
Just use a kitchen towel on top of it, it's SO MUCH easier
Thanks now I don't have to pull out the machete everytime.
Take the cage off first, then take out the cork. It allows you more control over the cork so that you can remove it as silently as possible.
Gangsta!
usually when I take off the cage nothing happens. The secret is making sure the the bottle hasn`t been shaken before opening so even if you pop it straight to the ceiling not a single drop should spill
WRONG. Remove the cage and shake that bottle until it unloads all over your ceiling. So kidding. Great video!
I thought this was LL cool J for a second
OMG
If any of this is not obvious, you're not old enough to drink.
When is he going to do another video - been too long
I hate when you order something sparkling at a restaurant or bar and they bring it over and make a show of popping it open. Just open it normally, no need for any fanfare.
You can take off the cage. I've never had a cork fly off
I think I’ve been opening champagne wrong for the past 6 years. Always took the cage off. You tellin me it could’ve exploded at any given time 😳
There is a small risk yes
Not as dramatic as I was expecting. Maybe that's just for the cheap stuff.
Has nothing to do with cheapness, he is just purposefully applying downward pressure so the cork comes out very gently and doesn’t loudly pop or shoot out. He’s a sommelier so that’s the correct way to open sparkling wine in a restaurant setting. Nothing wrong with making the cork pop in a party setting, just twist and then pull the cork out swiftly and it will make a very loud pop
And that is how you burp da baby
But that’s no fun 😂
Not air.... its Co2.
What did you expect to get out of commenting this?
You look like morpheus
Nice
As a person who has never done this, I don’t most rather have a big explosion 😂
How to open it: open it
The only way to drink wine is to pour it down the drain
Alcohol will destroy your communities. Come back to your creator. The Quran.
You're appropriating my culture
Adult soda pop!
Thank you!
Firmly grasp it
