Aldi partnered with a wine expert to share tips on how to open sparkling wine without wasting a drop. Learn the proper techniques and glassware to enjoy your bubbly to the fullest.
As New Year's Eve approaches, many of us are gearing up to ring in the celebrations with a bottle or two of sparkling wine. However, there's nothing more frustrating than uncorking your bottle or pouring your drink, only for it to fizz over and create a mess. Recent findings from Aldi reveal that people in the UK, on average, waste 426,100 litres of sparkling wine annually.
That equates to a staggering 568,134 bottles or over 2,000 bathtubs full of bubbly, all due to a lack of confidence in opening bottles. In a bid to curb this wastage during the upcoming New Year celebrations, Aldi has teamed up with Mistress of Wine, Sam Caporn.

Forget the traditional flute and coupe - a tulip-shaped glass is the ideal choice for your bubbly. This might come as a surprise to some, but it helps maintain the effervescence while allowing you to fully appreciate the aroma. Pour your bubbly with care, angling the glass and allowing the liquid to cascade gently down the side akin to serving a beer without froth. Should it start to foam, pause for a bit before continuing. And then, it's time to enjoy your drink. If you find yourself with some remaining sparkle, make sure to seal it with a proper stopper to maintain its freshness until the next da
