Champagne tongs

Special device for opening a champagne bottle or a bottle of sparkling wine sealed with a cork. First remove the agraffe. Then place the pliers around the cork and carefully loosen it. Now place a cloth napkin around the neck of the bottle and slowly twist the cork out with the pliers or by hand. The napkin serves as protection against any foaming over. A spectacular way of opening a bottle of champagne, sparkling wine or sparkling wine is sabering (champagne topping).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
