Forget corkscrews — A legendary bottle deserves a legendary opening. This is the cold pincer method, where sommeliers use tongs and gently break the neck of the bottle. Why? To protect the wine from a fragile cork after decades of aging.
This technique is designed for old wine opening bottles with fragile corks, ensuring a flawless wine decanting process. Watch as they carefully snap the glass neck and decant the red wine, highlighting the delicate process for old bottles.
Here, a Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne 1997 gets opened in the most spectacular way, before being carefully decanted. Would you try it?

My brain – "1997, old? Maaaaaan, come on… 1997 was only a few years ago, wasn't it?"
*realizes 1997 was 27 years ago*
*begins to cry*
