what makes the bobbles in thoos bottles? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 20, 11:26
they always let a little flow out to let any bits wash away, and they always check the first glass. (well, should anyway.) -- nm - b. May 20, 11:19
it's advised to allow a small flow out of hte bottle and check the first glass of champagne for shards. - Diva May 20, 11:19 3

    - so I see above. I saw it on food network something or other, then saw it done in person some time back. -- nm - b. May 20, 11:23

    - "...enjoy seeing at least a glass of that champagne pour uselessly on the floor as the lip and the cork try their best to take someone's eye out. - JD May 20, 11:44
  - It's like cracking an egg. If you're careful, there aren't any shards or they stay out of the way. -- nm - nubby's-up grill si May 20, 11:31
- The glass does get cut, but I think your IM is correct. -- nm - Roger More May 20, 11:19
the force of the carbonation pushes them out -- nm - JenBro May 20, 11:18
