We don’t know what you think, but for us, whether getting together with friends, celebrating a birthday or just simple, because….. nothing goes down quite so well as a chilled glass of prosecco.
Apparently alot of us serve prosecco either too warm, or too cold but its honestly not hard to get right! Here are our top tips on how to serve prosecco correctly so you can enjpy every drop!
What is the correct temperature to serve Prosecco?
Prosecco should be served between 6-8 degrees. In order to get it to this temperature, it can be placed in an ice bucket half filled with ice & water or it can be placed in the fridge for some hours before serving.
How do I pop open my Prosecco?
First, remove the foil on the bottle. This is usually done by pulling a little tab but can also be done with a wine opener’s knife. Then, loosen the wire cage around the cork by flipping down the small wire ‘key’ and twisting it. Hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle, making sure you keep it pointed in a safe direction, away from yourself and other people. Hold the bottom of the bottle with one hand and the cork with the other. Holding the cork firmly, use your dominant hand turn the bottle slowly towards you. This will gently loosen the cork until it eases out.
Is there a “correct” way to pour my bubbles?
45 degrees is the magic number to achieve the perfect pour. This should mean that the bubbles don’t overflow. It’s also best to pour the liquid down the side of the glass, so that they don’t hit the bottom too quickly.
How should I store my Prosecco?
Store your unopened Prosecco in a cool place, away from light with a consistent temperature, until you are ready to drink it. Do not store in the fridge as this can dry the cork out. This causes the liquid to oxidize more quickly, which can change its aroma. This also helps to avoid any explosive cork pops when opening.
