W
ine and Valentine’s
Day go very well
together. Here are
a few things you should know
about Wine with Valentine’s
Day approaching.
1. Popping the cork
Just like in a relationship, getting off
to a good start always helps. To open
a bottle of wine, using a waiter’s corkscrew, cut the foil all the way around the
rim of the bottle. Remove the foil. Unfold
your corkscrew and penetrate the cork slightly off center so the “worm” of the corkscrew will
feed into the center of the cork. If you are using
a double-clutch type of corkscrew, use the first
stop to loosen the cork about halfway then use
the longer stop to pry it the rest of the way out.
