How to Open Martini & Rossi Wine

How to Open Martini & Rossi Wine thumbnail
Like champagne, sparkling wines must be handled carefully.

Sparkling wines are ideal for those that prefer the taste of wine but the bubbly of champagne. The Italian beverage company Martini & Rossi is well-known for their line of high-quality sparkling wines, such as Sparkling Rose and Asti. Martini & Rossi sparkling wines are not the typical wines; they are carbonated and under a lot of pressure. If you don't open the bottle carefully, the cork could shoot across the room and injure someone. Put the corkscrew away, and use your hands to avoid any mishaps when opening a Martini & Rossi sparkling wine bottle. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Chill a bottle of Martini & Rossi sparkling wine in a wine cooler or refrigerator. Avoid shaking when handling.

    • 2

      Point the bottle away from yourself and others.

    • 3

      Remove the foil wrapping from around the top of the bottle, and remove the wire cover.

    • 4

      Grasp the cork with your fingers and thumb. Slowly and carefully twist it out, making sure the bottle still is facing away from you or others. This might take a few minutes of firm twisting to pull out.

    • 5

      Tilt wine glasses toward the spout to pour the wine and serve.

Tips & Warnings

  • Never use a corkscrew to pull out the cork. It can cause the champagne bottle to explode as it's already under a lot of pressure.
