Ever poured some champagne into a glass and wondered if you were doing it correctly? Well, according to this new study, champagne should poured the same way you pour beer -- into a tilted glass along the sides. 

Why should champagne be poured this way? Well, it's because you want to preserve those precious bubbles that give you that tingly sensation and pouring champagne gently down the side is the best way to keep those bubbles intact. If you pour into a glass that is straight up, you'll lose more bubbles -- making your bubbly champagne less bubbly. 

So next time you pop open a bottle of our Moscato Spumante,Brut Cuvee, Extra Dry, Rose Cuvee or Bubbly Pinot Grigio, remember to pour down the side of a tilted glass and as always, have a great time!
