Im in your side! Im actually sommelier and winery owner and this is actually pretty shameful way to open a bottle of wine in restaurants or cafes, bars and places. Its fine for opening a bottle at your home for you or your family!
Agree with you, worked in a few Michelin star restaurants and now am a Restaurant manager of a 3 rosettes restaurant, and this is definitely not the way to open a bottle of wine, unless your at home drunk
What is the right way then? I did it like this when I was a waiter at a small restaurant at my city, never knew it was wrong Customers never said anything either
It has allot of steps but important things are that label must be pointed always to customer when you remove the cap you have 3 cuts after removing the cap you need to clean cork from outside with white towel then you screw like him but not spinnig the bottle just the tool label stays in front of the customer….. after that you go with two step pull out but it’s important that its silent basically the boom sound is forbiden you cannot touch the cork with your fingers if it’s necessary to pull out the cork than you use the same white towell to touch the cork after the cork is removed you throw your head into the right direction and smeel the cork after that if the smell is alright you clena the bottle’s throat from inside with white tovel and than its time to pour some wine and you can give the cork to customer on white small plate….. it will be easier to explain in video but this is proper way and probably you ask about three cuts and i cannot explain it by text its first half a circle than other half and last cut is from top to side….. i think it would be helpful for someone!
@@Tuegay123 No, the cork is not an issue here - when you open the wine, you have to drive the corkscrew really deep into the cork, what keeps the cork intact, even if is low quality. This 'pop' sound means that the cork was pulled straight up from the bottle. You need an extensive amount of force to do that - it does not look very elegant when you try to tear the cork out of the bottle. Also, you are not able to control the movement of the cork as you need to pull it all the way. You can even spill the wine! Especially, if you are not a strongman. ;) What actually you should do is pulling a cork a little diagonaly, usind the lever, which gives you corkscrew. This way you can, easily control the whole process.
Seconded, worked in a hotel restaurant place and you gotta do it quietly it's just like classy don't want to disturb other guests, plus your less likely to spill any, same with sparkling wines gotta be quiet.
If you’re opening a bottle in a restaurant as a server you’re technically not supposed to hear the pop, instead you’re supposed to grip the cork with your hand and wiggle it/twist it out softly so there’s no pop when it’s released
It’s actually the right way, most people cut it above the ring but your supposed to cut in below it. The original reason is because it was made of lead, and it’s bad for the wine if it touches that. Nowadays is almost always made of aluminium, so it’s just for hygiene reasons. But it is in fact the right way to open a bottle
u have to cut only a little part, instead of cut like him, just a bit up and thats it, it's an important thing because you can stop easily the wine drops who falls from the bottle
pro tip coming from someone who used to work at a fancy restaurant. if you can find a wine key with a double jointed lever those open the bottles way easier and minimizes the risk of breaking the cork.
Same, I cant remember a time whdre i did not know how to open a bottle of wine. As a child I often asked my parents to let me open the bottle when they were having wine so I think I have been able to do it since I was like 10
As a French person it seems so obvious for me, didn’t know so many people don’t know about that !! Here there is a « wine key » (« limonadier » in French) in almost every house 😂
I mean for a guy who put "PROPERLY" in the title he sure fucked up a lot of it for any fine dining setting where how you open a bottle would matter. He could've just said to buy a super cheap and easy-to-use wine corker that will come with a knife or the caps with the blades inside. Then just use that and it's basically impossible to get wrong and a lot easier than using a Swiss army knife. I doubt very few don't know how to open a wine bottle outside some younger adults who have never done it before or seen it done. Give them any cheap wine corker off Amazon and they'll figure it out real fast. If someone needs to "PROPERLY" open a bottle of wine this video is not the one to watch.
It’s the “only” wrong this! He also shouldn’t turn the bottle when cutting the label, he should hold the bottle with his fist and he should be standing up 🤪
@@esadz8510 Italian moscatos have Frizante to them so you’ll want to follow the correct method with them too. Standing up, just helps you maintain good control when opening the bottle. If someone was sitting down next to Pops there, they’d have received an elbow to the face lol.

Much prefer the keys over the bigger corkscrew mechanism. Just so easy to use. And real quick. I can pop a cork in 10-15 seconds without thinking, while other more complicated screws might get a slightly cleaner cork pull, it takes twice as long with them.
That wrap around the neck it's called a capsule on sparking wine bottle it's called the foil slice the capsule on the neck bottom to top and remove it completely it compliments your pour no containment into the glass
I always send the corkscrew 95% into the cork ! No piercing all the way through , if you do not finish the bottle it remain airtight when you reuse the cork … and no risk of little pieces of dirty cork jumping into the liquid
Already knew how to do this. But really enjoyed watching based on the enthusiasm. This guy is cool and would be fun to just have dinner and a few laughs with.
You didn't screw it down far enough and that's why the 1st ledge barely pulled the cork up. Then the 2nd ledge pull didn't extract the cork completely. Then you struggled to pop the cork at the end.
I just learned about the lever part on a wine key a few months ago. I've always wondered what that was for and just opened wine bottled with just the corkscrew like a caveman. I was just messing around with a wine key one day and it just occurred to me.
Exactly. I am from Spain and my father taught me how to open bottles with that opener. Although not in the same way, I always grab the metal part and screw it further down to be able to remove it completely without having to pull like in the video, much more elegant
If it takes you too long to cut the top, you can cut off the entire foil starting from the bottom of the neck area and then rip it off. It takes 1-3 seconds compared to rotating the blade of the wine key in a circle around the top of the wine bottle.
It popped because he didnt open it right on the first lever. On the first lever the handle should be down, then you go up, same thing with the second part. He started with the handle to high and barely got the cork up. Then twist with fingers left to right slowly and its opens quietly.
That first "lever part" is actually a bottle opener. This is not a double hinged key. It has only one position. Also, that popping sound should be avoided. Some believe it damages the wine.

was going to comment this but you already did
Also you never want to spin the bottle, you want to keep the label in front of the customer so usually you do two cuts to go around the bottles neck.
I vividly remember sommeliers telling in a fine dining course to always avoid the pop
Thank you. I never knew about the 2nd stage of the lever. 👏
I didn't even know the 1st stage, I've always just twisted and pulled the Cork out. Thought that end was just a bottle cap opener 😳

Back the screw out slightly at the end and use the verge. Don't twist and pop.
