Those looking to get the party started will be able to get their hands on this mammoth bottle of vino on the supermarket\u2019s online wine store now.<\/p>\n But whilst the massive Methuselah definitely makes a statement, the fizz can be a little fickle to open! Which is why Aldi\u2018s Wine Expert, Mistress of Wine Sam Caporn, is here to help \u2013 with a helpful guide on how to safely pop open your Methuselah:<\/p>\n Step 1: Chilling your Methuselah<\/p>\n We all know that it\u2019s vital to chill your bottle of bubbly before serving, but if you don\u2018t have the luxury of a completely empty fridge, getting your Methuselah cool can be a little trickier than your average bottle. I\u2019d recommend chilling your Methuselah in a large bucket filled with ice, or leaving it outside if it\u2019s nice and cold, to get that lovely cool fizz.<\/p>\n Step 2: Popping the cork<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s a normal size bottle or a Methuselah \u2013 it\u2019s important that you open the bottle safely to avoid any flying corks. For this larger bottle, I\u2019d say this is definitely a two-man job, so grab a pal and follow the below:<\/p>\n First remove the muzzle \u2013 but make sure you keep hold of the cork at all times (this is the key to avoiding any accidents) Again this is a two man-job \u2013 so you\u2019ll need a friend (one holding the base and one holding the neck). The main thing is to take it slow to avoid any spills and wastage. Some people like to pour their Methuselah into decanters \u2013 but personally I think that takes a bit of the fun (and froth) out of it!<\/p>\n Step 4: Enjoy<\/p>\n This one is easy \u2013 you know what to do!<\/p>\n Visit www.aldi.co.uk\/c\/wines\/bubbles for more information on Aldi\u2019s fizz*.<\/p>\n The perfect collaboration for your little ones this Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n FACEBOOK<\/a> | TWITTER<\/a> | YOUTUBE<\/a> | INSTAGRAM<\/a> | PINTEREST<\/a><\/p>\n Havaianas has teamed up with Disney’s Frozen to create a pair of magical flip flops featuring Ana and Elsa!<\/p>\n They are the perfect stocking filler this Christmas season.<\/p>\n Christmas time in Music City<\/strong><\/p>\n Seasonal breaks to Nashville from \u00a3899pp – discover Music City\u2019s spectacular \u2018Holiday Harmony\u2019 celebrations<\/p>\n Tuesday 12th November, LONDON \u2013 An alternative seasonal break to sing about \u2013 Nashville offers a warm country welcome to visitors this Christmas time.
