The popping champagne cork may never be the same. There's a new bottle in town that's easier to open, keeps the wine fizzy and removes the risk of flying champagne corks.
The cork can be the sign of a winner, but sometimes it can be a lethal weapon. The old, conventional corks could take an eye out with one pop, so someone's come up with a cork that doesn't explode from the bottle.
Some of the experts are not convinced, but others say the new corks are safer.
And one of the big questions is, how will the French react?
And are the new caps destined to be a fizzer, or a success like screw caps?
