Are you an Over, or Under, type when it comes to capsule cutting?

Like many here, if the capsule is loose I just pull it off. Otherwise with a waiter’s corkscrew I usually cut below - as Chaad says above, it is more stable if cutting while holding the bottle.

I think this all depends on what you do for a living:

  1. If you are ITB/Sommelier/Wine Director, or work on premise, you have to cut under.
  2. If you don’t work in the business, you can do whatever you like.
  3. If you are ITB but work off premise, you can do whatever you like, unless you want to be a Sommelier, then you have to cut under.

And if you’re a mohel?

Bob,

In that case taking less is better because you can always take more…hard to put extra back if you take too much.
