How to Open and Enjoy a Bottle of Wine.

Everyone (of age) loves a nice bottle of wine from time to time, am I right?
But do you know how to properly open one without it looking like first-grade arts and crafts project? (Or, worse....getting broken cork into your precious "juice")
Well, let me help you figure this out so you don't devastate your next bottle. Just follow these easy steps, and you're on the road to success!

What you will need.
-One bottle of wine. (red, white, pink, sparkling, or otherwise) Just make sure it's got a cork. Now, it doesn't matter if it's natural of synthetic cork. Just if it's a natural cork be a little more ginger when popping.
-One wine key. Make sure the key has a foot, a corkscrew, and a knife.
-One linen napkin or towel that you don't mind getting a little wine on
-One steamed glass for this bottle, I chose a Merlot high steam glass

Step 1 A little off the top...

Okey, now we're warming things up, and we need to take a little off the top.

Using the wine key knife, take the very top of the foil off.
Take care not to remove too much of the foil. As a general rule of thumb, you don't want to take off the foil below the lip of the bottle.
For a few reasons
1.) If for some unholy reason you knock the edge of the bottle on your glass it wont chip and/or shatter. That would over all be bad.
2.) It helps bead off a renegade drop of wine when pouring.
3.) and no one likes to be naked BEFORE they start drinking.

Once you have the top peeled up, go a head and take the circle all the way off. It's ok, it's just a little off the top.
