Lets me say straight off, that unfinshed bottles of Champers are a very rare occurrence in Mikey Towers !

But people keep telling me to suspend a tea spoon in the neck of the bottle and the fizz will still be there the following day.

Now..... if this IS true, how does the science work ?

Teaspoons are 50% bubble by law, Mikey, and when cooled in a fridge part of that 50% dribbles into whatever they're suspended in.

It's pure fizzicks.

It is certainly something that ends in "cks" Douglas.

I am going to be picky, Mikey! Why have you only half opened the bottle? Open it properly. :-)

Toorak

Apparently it doesn't work but keeping it chilled helps

Mamy...on the rare occasions that I break open a bottle of bubbly, there is nothing left the following day !

Next time you open a bottle, make sure you have someone to share it with. Champagne does not keep well.

Being a pedant I think you mean an opened bottled of champagne that is half empty (or half full, depending on your point of view), Mikey.

If you make a habit of only consuming half a bottle of fizz I think you need one of these:

Have you chosen to ignore my pickyness? :-)

Toorak....I suspected as much, especially when someone suggested this morning, that it only works with Sterling Silver spoons, and most certainly doesn't with EPNS !

Mamyalynne

I have most obviously completely missed the point of this thread, going for a drink.
