What is a muselet? Name and purpose of champagne wire Champagne wire name length (the Cage) What is the correct name for the twisted wire holding the cork in a champagne bottle... And I got the best answer (French muselet - wire fuse),. The muselet is usually made of low-carbon steel wire and put on the bottle using a special machine. Until the 1870s hemp ropes tied crosswise were used as a bridle holding the cork. . Some French champagne houses are still faithful to them when capping elite wines. In this case, small scissors are usually attached to the bottle. Wire 0.7-0.8 mm thick. The standard length of a muselet is fifty-two centimeters. . Do you know, there is a legend that this is the length of the wire that Josephine Clicquot pulled out of her corsage to screw in the cork of her brand of champagne "Veuve Clicquot"…. My ultimate question is how ever …..,Why there is 6 turning steps to making losing the “Muselet“????????

It's not every day a 16-year-old sample from the Granite Belt arrives on the doorstep. Given its age and the time it spent in temperature-controlled storage, the $59 RRP seems quite inexpensive. Above all, it's a wine that is a very good example to learn and understand what aged wine can deliver without burning a hole in your pocket. https://buff.ly/43vkgim

Foiled again?! Last year, to the surprise of some, wirehoods and foils on Champagne were no longer required by law. Since then the UMC (Union des Maisons de Champagne) and AOC Champagne rules have insisted on them. Enter Michel Chapoutier, the Rhone wine merchant. Just as he was launching champagnes under his own name, he controversially suggested that wirehoods and foils had nothing to do with quality, and should be abandoned, citing corporate responsibility. There are cogent arguments for ditching foils and wirehoods. From an ecological point of view, it obviates unnecessary waste. Economically, it avoids a cost of aluminium –  which is pricier than it used to be. Cynics might suggest that foils usefully hide uneven fill heights (which would just be a deceit on the consumer). It is interesting that just as artisanal Australian Riesling producers are eschewing screwcaps in favour of corks and beeswax for environmental reasons, fizz could choose to do the same. In fact, before 1850 corks were covered with wax or tar to protect them. Such suggestion has not gone down well with the champagnois who consider the wirehoods and foils to be iconic. They are outraged. M. Chapoutier had poured a red wine without a ‘headdress’ at the launch. Having secured media interest in his new champagne range, he returned to the Rhone reassuring everyone that it was just his personal view. Is this a serious point? Is it a masterclass in self-publicity at a product launch? Who knows? My grandmother always used to say ‘If you want to get ahead get a hat’. Does that apply if you’re a bottle of fizz?
