Method 1.
1. Tear off the foil wrapper around the cork.
2. Flip down and twist the metal wire loop on the safety stopper.
3. Remove the safety stopper.
4. Drape a towel over the cork and hold the towel firmly at the cork and
bottleneck.
5. Hold the other hand under the base of the bottle.
6. Twist the bottle at its base while pulling lightly in both directions.
7. Hold the cork and bottleneck firm to reposition the hand at the base.
8. Repeat 6 and 7 until the cork moves its way out of the bottleneck.
The bottles pressure should be released gently and the cork should never
leave the hand until it is completely out of the bottle. Wrap the towel
around the neck and it is now ready to pour.
Method 2:
1. Buy a race car.
2. Solicit the assistance of family and friends.
3. Buy the following books.

4. Read the above mentioned books (preferably in the order mentioned) and
apply their techniques on the track.
5. Compete in a race suitable for the car you have selected.
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 until finishing among the top three drivers.
7. Stand on the podium.
8. Remove the foil cover and safety stopper as described in Method 1 (if
this has not already been done by the event organizers).
9. Grab the bottle by the neck and give it one strong shake.
10. Place the other hand with thumb and forefinger under the cork.
11. Pull the two hands apart and let the cork fly.
12. Immediately place the thumb of the bottleneck holding hand over the neck
opening.
The bottle is now ready to spray. If the shaking is too vigorous before
opening, all the liquid will spill out onto the podium when the cork leaves
the neck. Placing the thumb over the neck opening will increase the distance
and duration of the spray. Don't forget to share with your crew,
competitors, and those around you.
