Lets me say straight off, that unfinshed bottles of Champers are a very rare occurrence in Mikey Towers !

But people keep telling me to suspend a tea spoon in the neck of the bottle and the fizz will still be there the following day.

Now..... if this IS true, how does the science work ?

Let's hope Lidl doesn't half-open the doors, then......!

It's lovely at 6am. Reach for the window catch, open it up, climb in...:-)

The only time I'd be up early enough to be at the shops by 8am is if I'd been up all the previous night swilling champagne!

NJ.....put some dark sunglasses on, and that false beard that you keep in the back of the wardrobe, and try them tomorrow ....I won't tell anyone, I promise !

But I am not joking about 08:00 .
Our extremely civilised wee bit hill and glen bans the sale of alcohol before 10am, seven days a week, Mikey, so we'll need two queues up here. One for bread n milk, the other for cheap bevvy.

In the interest of health, apparently.
Winston Churchill said that a magnum of champagne was just the right size for two people.....one's self and the wine waiter.
Sadly I can't do that any more and will enjoy my bottle, not magnum, over two nights. The fizzkeeper top suggested by Mamya and NJ works very well provided both the fizzkeeper and the bottle are decent ones. Some fizzkeepers don't have a proper spring mechanism and let the gas out and if the bottle doesn't have a well defined lip then the fizzkeeper will not remain in place and will go into orbit. After having a fizzkeeper blast off event in the fridge which was messy and exciting, I now leave the sealed bottle out on the kitchen worktop for a short period, less than a minute, to ensure that the seal is good.
I don't exactly mean lip, I mean the ring of glass that sticks out from the bottle neck below the lip
I've tried the spoon trick twice now and it works very well if you have, say, a lunch guest and then finish it off in the evening. Not tried leaving it for longer...

jourdain2....would it have lasted until evening if you hadn't put the spoon ?
mikey, in my experience, yes it would if its the meth champ stuff. If its wine that has been made fizzy by being injected with CO2 then no it doesn't.
A bottle of champagne would easily last from lunchtime until evening without putting anything at all in the neck
A bottle of champers or prosecco or any other sparkling wine will easily keep from lunchtime one day till lunchtime the next day, in the fridge, and maintain its fizz. No need for spoons or any fancy stoppers. I've done this many times when I've opened a second bottle of fizz and not managed to drink it all.
