What could possibly go wrong? Basically, modify the cork of a champagne bottle into a lawn dart, with the point sticking up and the stopper at the end. When the champagne is opened, the release of the cork would be replaced with the release of a lawn dart, which could be turned into a festive game of hitting a target (or more likely, a game of scatter and run). For indoor fun, paint a target on the ceiling.

Alas, letting the cork fly just encourages rapid pressure changes and champagne loss. The best way to open the bottle is extremely slowly with a very tight grip, so that only the smallest of hisses is heard.

But welcome to the 'bakery anyway.

//extremely slowly with a very tight grip// Oh, for champagne, you mean. Always the best method, yes.

The kind of people who'd do this probably aren't drinking champagne.

Welcome, have a drink. Here's blood in your eye.

[normzone]: And remember to turn the bottle, not the cork...

+ from me. I can handle the loss of some champagne or cheap cava. As long as the beer is intact, lets fly those corks! <pop!>

I thought the best way was with a cavalryman's sabre...

I've seen that done and must admit I was impressed.
