No one wants to drink flat champagne that’s why everyone tries to store the leftover champagne. But how is it possible to store your half-filled bottle of champagne? Usually, after opening the bottle, leftover champagne is ruined and you can either use it for cooking/baking or pour it in the drain. There is a proper way to store leftover champagne overnight and putting it in the chilled display unit is very effective. You may have heard that re-chilling a champagne bottle after opening is not a good idea. But remember it is a myth.
Here is a complete guide ...
... for leftover champagne storage. Follow the guidelines and enjoy leftover champagne even the next day.
Step 1: Buy Good Quality Champagne
The quality of stored champagne will depend on the quality of the champagne you have purchased. And it is true that good quality bubbly champagne can be expensive. But spending a few extra bucks on champagne is only for your enjoyment and to keep it in good form for longer. It is really worth it. On the contrary, if you save a few bucks and buy cheap champagne, its bubbles escape the bottle immediately leaving flat champagne.
Step 2: 
Trick#1 Add a Spoon to the Champagne Bottle
Put a spoon in the leftover champagne bottle to keep your champagne bubbly overnight. What happens when you put a metal spoon in the bottle? The metal spoon keeps the bottle’s neck cold and prevents the gasses release. It also keeps the bubbles inside the bottle. Some people have a strong belief that this trick really works and some don’t. But this trick really helps you to enjoy the bubbly champagne overnight.
Trick#2 Use a Plastic Wrap
Another way to keep it bubbly overnight is by wrapping it in good quality plastic wrap. This method is similar to the method given above, works well according to some people and some don’t support the idea. But you can give it a try. At least, wrapping the leftover champagne bottle will prevent other food from dropping accidentally in your champagne bottle.
Trick #3 Use of Airtight Cork
Do you usually drink champagne alone? Do you pour down the leftover champagne the next day often? If it is relatable for you then it’s time to go to the grocery store and buy reusable cork. You can also invest in a good champagne stopper.
Don’t try to use the cork that came with the bottle. Because it will lead to gasses buildup in the bottle and cork may go flying off.
Step 3: Keep the Leftover Champagne Cold
You can keep the leftover champagne bottle directly in the fridge or after using one of the tricks mentioned above. Keeping the bottle cold all night will keep the bubble popping. You can use an ice bucket to store the leftover champagne overnight. Another way to keep it cold is to fill the kitchen sink with ice and leave the bottle there.
Similar to the tips and tricks mentioned above, there is a debate on this method too. Some critiques say that this method makes the champagne sweet due to the loss of carbonation. But by keeping it cold you are actually reducing the released gas that keeps champagne bubbly overnight.
Step 4: Use of a New Gadget
The method discussed above is really helpful in keeping the leftover champagne bubbly overnight. But now with the enhancement in technology new ways of storing leftover champagne are introduced. These methods preserve color, flavor, and fizz for an extra day or two. Zach is a gadget that consists of a cartridge, stopper, and a handpiece.
