Putting a spoon in a Champagne bottle has been proven to keep it fizzy
The age old myth said to keep your fizz fresh has been found to stand up in terms of physics.
If your greedy guests don’t polish off your Champagne, sparkling wine or prossecco, you might want to keep it for another day.

Putting a spoon in a Champagne bottle really does keep it fizzy, according to science.
Colder air makes for more dense air, meaning it presses on the surface of the Champagne stopping the bubbles of air from escaping and leaving you with a flat drink.
A chef named Luis Bollo from Salinas has experimented with the method himself.
He told website Grub Street: “In Spain, we are the biggest consumers of cava and Champagne in the world.”
"My father and my grandfather, whatever cava was left over they just store it with the spoon from one day or the other.
