How do you open up a bottle of frozen champagne?

[Lostmessage]

Last night I started cleaning out my refrigerator because something is wrong with it and I found a frozen bottle of Champagne in it.
I have been trying to uncork it for a while.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. Pee on it, it'll thaw

You're hopped up diuretics right?

5. LOL

I am using it as a diuretic as soon as I can pop the damn cork.

2. You don't. Put it in the sink

and come back in a few hours.

6. ...or you could have that guy in your pic bite the top off

:think:

7. What guy?

I am still looking for a Valentine.

10. LOL - that happy Albanian?

Yeah some dental work may be in store for him...

11. He might come in handy

As a can opener.

14. Not to say he isn't a nice guy or anything

but he could probably cut his own way out of a wrecked car.

15. He looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger

Same smile.

3. You Don't

You are lucky that the bottle didn't break when the champagne froze and expanded. Put it in the refrigerator and let it thaw out for a day or two. Use caution--the bottle may still shatter!

8. I have tons of glass to clean out in the back of the refrigerator

I had some Coronas in the back that busted and the turkey from thanksgiving was covering them up.

18. You still have your turkey from Thanksgiving in your fridge?!?!?

Ewwwwww! And how bad did that smell?

19. It was frozen

My back has been out and I haven't been able to bend down to check the bottom of the refrigerator out.
It wasn't a big turkey it was cut up on a plate. My refrigerator is freezing everything that I put in it and I have to have the management company come up to my apartment and fix it on Monday so I have to clean it out.

20. Hmm...

corarose, is that you? :hi:

4. Wait for it to thaw

If you get it open a little, the cork will pop out and it will explode an bubble out all over.

9. Can you heat the top up with a lighter?

I wish my coronas wouldn't have broken but what can you say. I have to clean my refrigerator out because it's broken.

12. You don't, put it in the fridge till it thaws. n/t

13. My refrigerator is broken so I can't put it back in

That's why I am cleaning it out it either freezes everything or it defrosts. I should have let it defrost but I was afraid that the food from thanksgiving would stink.

16. Throw it out - it won't taste right

17. I got it open a second ago

I am drinking it right now and it does taste kind of odd but it did the trick on the diuretic.

[prolesunited]

21. So, have you finished

the bottle yet? Are you tipsy?

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. Please spare us the details.

23. The Champagne is ruined

Throw it out.

24. Let it come to chill temperature first and then uncork as usual.

Whatever you do, don't stick it in the oven to unthaw, like a dumb friend of mine did once. :eyes:

was a very, very sharp sword. :)
