Wie öffnet man eine Flasche Porto?

Vintage Porto is a wine with a very long life and extract the cork on a bottle with over 25 years using a corkscrew could mean breaking the cork due to their fragility. The bottles containing it are designed to be stored for a long time so that must and brandy "marry" and soft. In the UK there is still convinced to buy a box of Oporto when comes a man and keep it for drinking when the child is an adult.

The neck of a bottle of vintage port, tall and slightly domed, contains a very long cork. If the bottle is kept for over twenty years, the cork can soften and become brittle and very fragile, which tend to break when trying to remove a conventional corkscrew. In such a situation, it is virtually impossible to remove the normal way.

To avoid breaking the cork, using special tongs Porto previously heated red hot, either on the stack or in the flame of a gas appliance. With them grabs the neck of the bottle for half minute. Then rub the hot with a damp cloth or, if you want to add a touch of class with a quill dipped in cold water, in this way, due to temperature change, then you will hear a slight crunch, which will indicate the neck of the bottle is broken circle cleanly, leaving separate upper neck containing cork.

The cork still intact and protruding a little, there prevented any piece of glass has fallen into wine, although typically the cut is so clean that even small fragments shows



An impressive trick, is not it, but more importantly, it works. Besides being a ritual that brings solemnity when faced with a few years Oporto.
