My favorite way to drink wine

No green beer last night. This was very good but I think I'll let the other 19s sleep for a year. The frothy bubbles from pouring were purple telling me Eric really extracted all he could from those poor Grenache grapes!

Hello Clarice..

 

[romafan]

Yeah, saber one-two bottles/week, no worries about glass though. You just slice off the head, no shards or anything. Either from my porch down the lawn, or stairs in front of the house towards the street.

Assuming a nice competent, clean slice, how much wine do you lose? In all the videos I've seen it seems like fair bit. Once things settle down is the amount negligible, or is it just the price you pay?

With a properly chilled bottle and correct technique you shouldn’t lose any juice, just like opening a bottle normally

You do not "slice" which is a common misperception. You slide the blade along the seam of the bottle giving the lip of the opening a good whack. Hold the bottle such that extending your arm will end with the blade past the bottle. Quickly, with the blade firmly in contact with the bottle, extend your elbow sliding the blade along the same to "whack" that lip and continue on.
