How funny it is…My video has been shared around the wine world! And I’m loving! I took this video whilst on a dinner with friends, at Enoteca Pinchiorri, August 15th 2020 (Ferragosto) in Firenze, Italy! I’m happy to now share a bit of information of the method used in this video.
Jonathan Ross, a sommelier at Eleval Madison Park, is responsible for resurrecting the old world tradition of using heated tongs to open wine: Placing the red hot metal around the neck; it makes a clean break leaving the cork intact. The method originated in Portugal as an alternative to opening very old bottles of wine with corks that tended to crumble from age.
