How to open a bottle
The first thing we do is remove the neck or seal that wraps around the neck of the bottle.
Next, proceed to clean the area we just removed with a clean cloth, to remove the existing remains of the neck.
Now we must decide to choose a suitable corkscrew and easy to handle. Once selected, click on the cork with the tip of the corkscrew and turn or press as appropriate.
It is important that we take care not to introduce the whole corkscrew to avoid drilling all the cork and that particles of it fall into the wine.
We must do it with care and slowness, always turning the corkscrew and never the bottle.
Once the bottle is opened, we will smell the cork, if it smells of wine, it is a good sign.
If we detect odors to humidity, we must alert ourselves, because there may be defects in wine.
We proceed to clean the mouth of the bottle with a clean rag, and to pour a little wine in a container, so that the cork that has been detached when opening it leaves the bottle.
Afterwards, we select a suitable glass, and pour the wine. Never put more than 2/3 of the capacity of the cup in the cup.
