Still Waters Posted December 31, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2012 We all savour the sound of a champagne cork popping. But those of us too squeamish to open the bottle for fear of a fast-flying cork might be onto something. For the American Academy of Ophthalmology has warned that adults who incorrectly open bubbly bottles are in real danger of poking their eyes out. http://www.dailymail...eave-blind.html Have a happy and safe new year everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xYlvax Posted December 31, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I avoid the champagne corks by buying whiskey instead. Just got to twist it open, pour some in ice (and coke if you prefer), and sit back to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article isn't just about Champagne. In the video it mentions any sparkling wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealdwita Posted January 3, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You have a butler!! All I have are safety goggles. They're essential in my kitchen. And in mine! All my kitchen staff - cook, scullery maid, cook's maid, under-butler and wine-waiter have to wear them when Champers is being opened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
