preserving champagne with a spoon!?!??!?!? whaaaa?

Ok, so Im not sure about you but Ive been told many many times that if you have champagne and dont have a cap for it, you can stick a spoon down it and it will stay fizzy .. I reckon this is utter crap but I need proof before I can make a decent arguement of it! What do you guys reckon? yay/nay? anyone got any proof, or any other myths they've heard about this?

 

its bs

Having opened and served probably ten thousand bottles of champagne in my life working in the Food & Beverage business, I can tell you its bullshit.

Now think about it, how often do you even come across a spoon that will fit in the bottle? The only thing that would would be a small demi tea spoon you often see served with an espresso.

Point number 2 would be, spoons are made from countless different kinds and blends of metals. The one in a million chance that whomever told you this is right would indicate that this is the result of a specific chemical reaction from the metal in the spoon preventing the CO2 in the bubbly from dissapating. So what kind of spoon are they talking about?

 

yeah your right man, they reckon that you just put the spoon sitting in the top, with the handle bit down the throat of the bottle... but still, hows it supposed to stop it from going flat? your right there man.. unless its a spoon shaped like a cork or such .. your outta luck! haha

now I needa covince my stubborn friends ...

 

yea, not sure that it's true at all...
