Champagne, Prosecco, and all other types of sparkling wines are more than just good for a New Years Eve celebration. Having a glass of bubbly at dinner makes every night special, but if you don’t drink the whole bottle, the problem becomes trying to fit the cork back in, which will never work. However, there is a simple way to keep it fresh without any special equipment.

The trick to keeping all the bubbles in your wine is simple; you just need a spoon! Although some people say it needs to be silver, you really can use any type you want, as long as it’s not a plastic one. This will ensure that your wine stays fizzy for at least another 2 days, some people reporting up to 5.

Now that you have even more time to use your sparkling wine, you can make all sorts of cocktails that only need a drop of fizzy. If you make something like a rum punch, top it off with a little bubbly for a lighter drink. Or, if you want the classic Italian drink Aperol spritz, fill a glass with ice, pour in the Aperol, and top with Prosecco or whatever bubbly wine you have in your fridge.
