Happy New Year's Eve!
For adults, special traditions like champagne corks, pose eye hazards. A cork can travel at speeds up to 50mph as it leaves the bottle, posing risk for serious injury, including blindness, bleeding and abrasions. Follow these safety tips:
🍾 To protect your eyesight and enhance the flavor of your champagne, chill it to 45 degrees. Champagne has countless bubbles filled with gas that expand when they get warm, increasing the pressure and the risk.
🍾 When opening your chilled bottle, never shake the bottle or point it at anyone.
🍾 Once you have torn off the foil, hold down the cork with the palm of your hand while removing the wire hood.
🍾 Now, place a towel over the top of the bottle and grasp the cork.
🍾 Pointing the bottle at a 45-degree angle away from yourself or any fellow partygoers, slowly twist the base of the bottle while grasping the cork to break the seal.
🍾 As the cork breaks free, slight downward pressure will create a safe and festive pop.
