How to open Champagne?

Drinking ice cold or warm champagne means undermining its true flavor. 

Drinking ice cold or warm champagne means undermining its true flavor, for it opens up fully only at 7-9 °С. Champagne must be stored in a horizontal position so that the wine moistens the cork, otherwise the drink will stop sparkling. 

Many champagne connoisseurs insist that the perfect way of opening a bottle is to make it produce a sound almost indifferent than that of a breath or whisper. And that's not snob-ism. 

The louder the pop - the worse the champagne tastes. If one opens the bottle too fast the carbon dioxide bubbles will quickly leave the drink, making the champagne lose its sparkling touch, meaning its taste as well.
