Hey there!

We're Jeff & Brittany, two wine-loving travelers (or travel-loving wine-Os depending on the day!) and here you'll find the ins and outs of our journey. We share our best travel tips and must see locations, under the radar wines, hidden restaurants, and hints to taste wine like a pro across the globe. So, fellow Vino Vagabond, grab a glass (or two) and lets hit the road! Cheers!

Video: How to Open a Champagne Bottle with a KNIFE!

This is one of our all-time favorite party tricks and one of the quickest ways to make an impression on your guests...just make sure to aim the bottle away from the crowd! 

*Below the video you'll find step by step instructions too!* 

Step 1: remove the foil 

Step 2: remove the wire cage, BUT KEEP YOUR THUMB ON THE CORK SO IT DOESN'T BLOW OFF EARLY!

Step 3: Hold the bottle in your non-dominant hand, cork facing away from you or anyone else.

Step 4: Turn the knife around so you'll be striking the bottle top with the BLUNT end. If you do it with the sharp end, you'll chip the knife blade.

Step 5: In ONE swift, strong motion run the back of the knife up the bottle neck all the 'through' the bottle top. *Your knife will catch the lip of the bottle top and 'pop' the bottle open.*

*Tip: to pop the top off clean and easy, make sure to be forceful with your strike, fully extend your arm and follow completely through with the motion.

Tip two: keep an eye on where the top goes...it makes an awesome magnet or souvenir!
