How do you make Prosecco Last?

[BaconAndAvocado]

That's it really!

Not sure if you can!

[AnimatedDad]

sodastream?

[HowDoesThatWork]

Did someone mention Prosecco?

Yes, no need for teaspoons, just buy more.

This is the list of Prosecco prices at all (no Lidl and just what Aldi have online) the supermarkets:

www.ispyprices.com/search/q%3D+prosecco

& this Pignoletto is only £5.59 if you buy 3 or more:

Just bought a champagne stopper so we shall see.....

[EmilyAlice]

No Prosecco left in Lidl in Normandy since I bought it all in the summer.
They keep selling all this French stuff. Can't imagine why?

[TalkinPeace]

I linked at 18:49 to the real mccoy .... they are available all over

[BehindLockNumberNine]

Aaah, interesting, dh did question dfriend's sanity when he witnessed her doing the spoon thing.....

Will google bochon, I am the only prosecco lover in this house and a who,e bottle is too much even for me...

[TalkinPeace]

Locknumbernine
my late (and quite famous) wine trade boss proved that the spoon was a placebo
he tested it with a room full of MW supermarket wine buyers

it takes a bottle about 6 hours to go flat
with or without a spoon - even a plastic one

a bochon is best (as that allows the pressure to rise, holding the CO2 into the wine)
but all else is pseudo science

[BehindLockNumberNine]

My friend does the teaspoon thing. Does it need to be silver? Or will any old teaspoon do?

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

The special stoppers are great, although there is very rarely any left in our house

emily
It was at my Lidl today

erdel
did you use a normal wine stopper
rather than one of these thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mDRpPbeWlGBqWZ0YU97BHaA.jpg
as the ones with the clips are the only safe ones for sparkling

[EmilyAlice]

My bottle of Cava blew its stopper out in the fridge in the middle of last night and woke us up with a bang.
Put it back in the morning snd still fizzy this evening though.
When will Lidl's have their Prosecco in again?

[iwantavuvezela]

Third the teaspoon in the open bottle, the bubbles will keep and will last in the fridge

[Erdelyi]

Second the teaspoon in the top. I worked for a fancy wine place once and a Master of Wine passed on that tip.

[BeHoHoHove]

[Showy]

Ooh is it wine? Somebody has given dh a bottle as a thank you and we're teetotal. We can't give it away, our friends and family weren't interested. I'm thinking of just offering it to passers by.

If you're in NW Norfolk and want a bottle of whatever Prosecco is, please take it from me.

[TalkinPeace]

Drink the cava first?
Seriously
I used to work in the wine trade and we used "bochons" to seal sparkling bottles that were going to be in use for an all day trade tasting

then after a cock up forgot them we realised that decent fizzy left in a cool place undisturbed will take about 6-8 hours to go flat

vacuvin will kill fizzy wine in an instant

[HuevosRancheros]

sorry, brackets in wrong place there.
really should preview first
or save some of the prosecco for later

[HuevosRancheros]

no, you don't want the pumping-air-out one, that'll make it go fla (sucks out the bubbles)t.
You need a special champagne one that just twists to seal

[FlimwellUnderpass]

You can buy rubber things that you put in the top of the bottle and a thing which pumps the air out. It works well. Sorry that is a rubbish description but i do not know a better way to explain it.

[RojaGato]

One of those wine seal things, ILs gave us one for xmas last year. Before that Id id the teaspoon thing, which does buy you an extra day.

[Mostlyjustaluker]

You can get a special stopper for sparkling wine.

Only open the Champagne?

[TheGirlOnTheLanding]

The teaspoon stops it going flat. Or at least slows it down: I can't vouch for more than 2 days as it never lasts any longer than that in our house!

[lauren222]

I use a wine stopper (the type that forms a full seal but even that comes off in the fridge sometimes). You can drink it the next day but it does taste a bit flat. If there is a just one glass left I often freeze it and use it for making gravy at a later point.

[insancerre]

If you open it at lunch time you could make it last till teatime
