Preserving champagne!

So, here’s an odd little post 🙂

Opened a bottle of Moet at midnight last night, but only wanted a glass for each of us.  I put a “vacu-vin” stopper in the bottle, pumped out the air, and then put the champagne top (the little metal cap with the wires under the bottle rim) back on over the vacu-vin cap.  Opened the bottle about 2PM today and and Jan & I finished the bottle, sitting on the front porch…just as fresh and bubbly as when first opened.  Maybe this is old hat to everyone, but it was news to me.
