I swear, this isnt a pull-my-finger prank, I said, cracking open a tall, trophy-gold can of Hazicus Maximus , a new double IPA from Lagunitas Brewing in Petaluma, Calif. Just one sniff. She warily accepted the can and inhaled deeply, her eyes widening with each whiff of dank grapefruit like smoking high-grade cannabis in a Florida citrus grove.

While this helps familiarize consumers with each regions specific style, drinkers might wonder what grapes are actually in their glass.

When it comes to sparkling wine, theres always a lot of pressure to open the bottle correctly, and maybe even with a bit of style. (Nothing can kill a party like an errant cork hitting a guest in the face.) But popping a bottle of bubbly on TV in front of a national audience? That adds a whole extra layer of stress. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that can go wrong between getting the Champagne out of the fridge and saying cheers with your friends.
