Safety Tip

Did you know that champagne and sparkling wine corks can be dangerous?  They can leave the bottle at speeds of up to 60 mph as there is 3 times the pressure of a car tire inside.  It could cause serious eye damage, so be careful and open it properly.  Here is a great video showing how to safely open the bottle.

We were at a Lindt chocolate factory outlet on the weekend.  It was fun.

Hello Christine, greetings and good wishes.

Very useful information. Winners in all sports open champagne bottles in great style. It is fun to watch. I wonder whether they know about the danger.

Lovely photo of colorful chocolates.

Best wishes

Opening those bottles can be dangerous. Fortunately, we don't serve bubblies anymore.

I give Lindt chocolate as gifts, especially at Christmas. Seems to be a very popular brand.

What was your favorite chocolate?

I never knew that about the corks. Neat.

There were some square ones I've never seen before, dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts, very very good.

I got an assortment of flavours and shapes I haven't seen before and tasted quite a few!

I've done the same, ironically I've never tried their candy
