Convection causes cool wine to sink within the bottle drawing warm wine up to the cold neck. The ring sits on the neck of the bottle and cools the wine. A ring of ice having an inside surface which matches the curvature of the neck of a bottle of wine.A simple, double-walled or otherwise insulated container that keeps a chilled bottle of wine cold, also called a glacette.Some units are controlled by a thermostat. Most units allow the user to select the ideal temperature for wine, and some even have options to control two separate areas for different wines. These are useful for those who do not have access to a wine cellar, as temperature and humidity conditions can be replicated. Larger refrigerator-style units that store dozens of bottles at selected temperatures.This style of wine cooler operates most appropriately for white, rosé or sparkling wines which are usually served chilled. These can usefully achieve the desired wine-serving temperature, particularly in warmer climates. Small table-top units that rapidly chill a single bottle, using ice or an electric cooling device.Wine coolers (any type of equipment used in the chilling or cooling of wine) may include: Not to be confused with wine cooler, the alcoholic beverage of the same name. The wine is typically poured through a strainer into a decanter. The tongs are heated and applied to the neck of the bottle, which is then cooled with cold water, causing a clean break. Port tongs are used for opening bottles when the cork is not in a condition to be opened with a corkscrew, typically due to age. A Champagne sword may resemble a normal sword although the blade may be blunt as a sharp blade is not necessary for opening a bottle in this manner. Two problems can arise with this method: synthetic "corks" may be too dense to penetrate, and bottles not intended for pressure may break.Ī Champagne sword, or sabre à champagne is a device specially made for the tradition of sabrage – cracking opening a Champagne bottle with a precise sword blow. The sudden increase of pressure dislodges the cork and the wine can then be served. A cartridge of carbon dioxide is then pressed to release a short burst of gas.
A hollow spike is driven through the cork of a bottle. Wine poppers are another means of opening wine. The most popular is the wine key, sommelier knife or "waiter's friend" which resembles a pocket knife and has a small blade for cutting foil and a screw with a bottle brace. There are many different inceptions of the wine bottle opener ranging from the simple corkscrew, the screwpull lever, to complicated carbon dioxide driven openers. They are slowly being supplanted by the screwcap closure. Wine bottle openers are required to open wine bottles that are stoppered with a cork.
