Twist the bottle not the cork to open champagne
Ruth Ellen Church, noted food and wine authority, advises in Entertaining With Wine to hold cork with one hand and grip the bottle with the other then twist the bottle to push the cork out. The cork stays in hand and only a soft swish is heard, avoiding spills.
