What? Disgorge? Simple. You put the bottle upside down in freezer liquid, you take of the temporary cork, you fill it up with a little bit of extra wine (if needed), bang in a new cork, put on the wire cage (don’t want any unintended popping do we?). And you have your finished bottle. To make it a little bit more elegant you can put a label and some other fancy cosmetics on it.

The only thing that remains is to drink it!

Watch our video that shows how it is done on BKWine’s Travel Blog: One important step in making cava: disgorging.
