I guess this is the season in the Western World to address this
important question that puzzles the hell out out of me.

If you cannot finish a bottle of champagne you might want to recap the
bottle.  Presumably we all have tried that once,  and I guess we left
it at that  -it is hard to recap a champagne bottle.  So what can you
do?  You certainly don't want to waste the bottle by leaving it open
-it would taste like a can of flat Coke the next day.

I have observed people from both the US and Germany solving this
problem this way:  they stick a spoon (handle down) in the champagne
bottle and claim without a blink of the eye that the spoon prevents
the  champagne from going flat.  Mind you,  with any stretch of
imagination you cannot call the spoon a tight fit.

Do you folks believe in this?  I can't believe that it works,  but
then being a cheapskate I am I haven't done any empirical experiments
either. It just cannot work  -or can it?
