Bonjour, Julien! I was lucky to be taught by a French commis chef many years ago how to open a bottle of wine using corkscrew with "flourish" the way waiters are trained to do it without using the customers' table. It was a very useful lesson. Very nice to watch again another Frenchman teach it. It is a shame that these days, most wine bottles come in screw caps- expensive, medium and everyday wine ranges. It is a treat to open a bottle of wine the way it is meant to be opened- with a corkscrew... Hailing from a wine-making country, New Zealand! Kia Ora!
Thank you for this nicely detailed explanation and demo of how to open a wine bottle. As old as I am, I have never actually opened a bottle of wine by myself! I've always just passed off the job to someone else, because I didn't know how to do it. But now, I will give it a try the next time there's a bottle to be opened!
I'm team second edge of the bottle! By my personal experience, the wine drips less from the neck after pouring. I feel like the first edge can gather droplets if the cut isn't clean enough as you nicely said. Cheers Julien!!
Agreed, although it does look a bit nicer when cutting on the upper edge. Just a matter of taste I suppose :-) Glad you enjoyed video, and thanks again for the love and support my friend :-) Santé
@@UA-camJulien That would be an honor! Well...Since you are in the perfect location, I would love to see a wholesome virtual video simplifying Bordeaux but at the same time covering the essentials. Typicality west and east bank. The different whites. Also the current status and future of Bordeaux wine.
Debrah Diva thanks much Debrah, very grateful for the fantastic feedback. Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏻😊🥂 any topic you’re wondering about and you’d like covered in the series?
Would love a vid about the various aspects of sparkling wine/champagne. Sometimes ordinary sparkling wine tastes as good as the expensive ones!@@UA-camJulien
@@DebrahDiva Excellent Debrah! Not an easy topic to cover, need to get the right wines and find the right angle. But certainly a great idea. Would be fantastic to highlight the great qualities of many sparkling wines outside of Champagne. Made a video about outstanding California wines by Domaine Carneroes, that come much more affordable than more Champagnes, and often much better value -> ua-cam.com/video/8OnHzRNxQAA/v-deo.html I've got a great series of fine Crémants from Burgundy coming up soon with a series of tastings of bubblies from a careful producer there who wants his wines dissected by my palate. So this should be interesting too. I'll dig into this :-) Got my word. Thanks much for your time... A bientot
Glad your enjoyed :) thanks for your kind words, I suggest you browse around my wine school playlist, this link should take you to Chapter 2 and then playlist continues with more episode: ua-cam.com/video/otGyQlBa7oY/v-deo.html Does this work for you? 🥂😊🙏
Great video! I tried buying a similar corkscrew to yours with the round foil cutter included, but couldn't find any. Can you share a link or tell me if they're called with any other name? Thank you!
I'm guessing you'd use the same method for opening a Champagne as opening a wine. However about the etiquette and the cork pop sound. If you're opening a great champagne but for New Years Eve occasion do you want some cork pop sound, which some people associate with that one time a year celebratory event or open the cork as you said as quiet as a mouse?
Heres how a Champagne grower showed me how to open a Bottle of Champagne the way they like it locally in the Champagne region of France ua-cam.com/video/c09NyVTsnek/v-deo.htmlsi=gZEN5FO9mFHNa7qi I don't mind the 'pop' personally, but apparently the truely chic way is without it 🥂
I agree. I've always struggled with the serrated cutter, can't seem to use it properly and make a clean cut with it. Guess I should have gone through a proper sommelier training. They seem to be able to handle it properly. The foil cutter is just much easier and cleaner in my experience. Some people argue you have to cut lower that it does, but I don't mind :-)
@@ChefsBackyard Lol, indeed. Better to always have one on hand than nothing ;-) Although, you can always use a shoe to open you bottle. Have you watched my 'open wine with a shoe' video yet?
Cheers Brandy. Gad you enjoyed, hope you enjoy some other wine videos on the channel, there's plenty here! Had a quick look at your channel, great to hear your work at a vineyard and therefore I'm assuming you enjoy wine. Looking forward to see the wine videos you'll be making. Welcome to the UA-cam wine world :-) Cheers
tx man, you were one of those asking for this type of videos, hope this is useful. Certainly enjoyed shooting it, hope it's appreciated out there. Cheers :-)
We did #3 at my first restaurant for the house wines, for the reason that we could see the cork. Et puis, it is very clean. My uncle loved his counter mounted rabbit, but even though I have a hand held, it is bulky and the waiters corkscrew I think is easier.
Just got a job where 1300$ is the normal price point for wine! I’m going to pull out all my cards because I know hands down, I wanna make all the $$$$ I can while I’m young and can pull off what it take to give an incredible performance. We all have where we need to get to.

It's a very nice way to uncork a bottle of wine!
Thank you, I didn't know . I had a problem cutting the wine bottle.
I tried every method home yesterday to open it but failed. Today just bought a cork and jumped to your video and yay did it, thanks so much! 🥂

Glad it was helpful! Wonderful to hear this. tx much for taking the time 🥂😊🙏
Wow do you have instagram
Thanks for that. I open a lot of bottles of wine over the course of the year and I still learned something watching this!
Klaus
What We Do wonderful Klaus 👍🏻 glad to hear. What do you think I should talk about more as I develop the videos?
Thank you! Believe it or not, I've never opened a bottle of wine myself. Can't wait to try! Cheers 🍷

@@UA-camJulien True. I have been quite busy lately, and you have been posting super frequently! Got to catch up watching you'r vids this Easter :D
Will be cool to hear what you think :-) would be great to make a video on a topic you'd like me to cover, one 'just for you' :-) any idea?
@@UA-camJulien That would be an honor! Well...Since you are in the perfect location, I would love to see a wholesome virtual video simplifying Bordeaux but at the same time covering the essentials.

How, that's a lot! Will have to break things down a little. What do you mean by 'wholesome virtual video'?
Fantastic tutorial for all vino lovers!

Great video! I tried buying a similar corkscrew to yours with the round foil cutter included, but couldn't find any. Can you share a link or tell me if they're called with any other name? Thank you!
The third method is almost a guaranteed trip to the ER with a sliced thumb. I don't recommend it if you have other plans for the evening.
Thank you I tried it
Excellent! TY :) Cheers!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for you kind support Julie 🙏🙏🙏😊❤

I really like the 2and foil cutter. I do not like the serrated cutters, they are tearing up the foil in my opinion.
but I have one (serrated waiters cork screw) in my pocket. lol

Thank-you upload this video.I can opened win bottle last night.
Glad.it was useful. Cheers Ayaka 🍷😀👍
There is no debate. It's properly opened by using the last edge.
Nice!

Thanks i couldn't figure it out lol

Great video. Tnx a lot. :)
Thanks 👍🙏🙏
Great videos! Keep them coming!
Will do. thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a ind note :-) Merci 🙏🙏😊🥂
I just did it! Thank you! 🍾🍷
Wonderful! Glad it was useful 🥂👍
When I seen this video was over 10 minutes long I just had to click 🤣
I've been chipping away at the foil with the corkscrew for years. So barbaric!
Lol. I sometimes use my teeth!
thank you again!

👏👏
hhello old friend:)x kitty
Who else is 14 lol
Better the wine's maker be more creative and make things easier to customer, dont lock the wine inside in old way, it time to create new.
Hi there, not sure I understand what you're saying :)
This is quite boring.. :(
Really???????
Great content but too much talking, it distracts from the lesson..
Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback Albert.
