How to pop a tiny champagne cork?
I know how to uncork champagne. However, I just got a bottle of prosecco with a tiny cork, and I'm not sure how to pop it. I can't grab it like with a normal cork, and I'm worried about putting a cork screw in there if everything is under pressure.

According to CA Wine Merchants and Ask Meta Filter, you simply open it with a corkscrew, as per regular wine.
Evidently, it is not so effevescent or pressurized that it needs the special cork that true champaign requires.

How do you open a mini champagne bottle?
A piece of cheese cloth or even a coffee filter across the top of the decanter will remove the cork as you pour out the wine. Then you can serve your wine in a nice decanter.Open Champagne
