Article: If you don't know someone very well, it can be hard to determine if they're being sarcastic. However, this can also mean that they're less likely to joke or use sarcasm with you. People you're familiar with or joke with often are more likely to use sarcasm, so keep this in mind. People tend to avoid sarcasm in professional situations. Exaggerated remarks are often a sign of sarcasm, especially if the person is responding to an obvious question. For example, you might say, "You probably don't want to pull an extra shift, do you?" The person may sarcastically respond with, "Yes! There's nothing I'd love more than to pull a double on my day off." People use sarcasm to deal with a variety of situations, but you'll probably notice more sarcasm after something bad happens or someone makes a mistake. Someone might make a sarcastic comment after another person points out the obvious. If something annoying happens, they might say, "That's just what I need right now." If something expected happens, they may reply, "Who would have thought!" If a person makes a mistake, they might say, "Oh, really good job!" If someone points out something obvious, the person may say, "Wow. Did you figure that out for yourself?" Most sarcastic comments are condescending, judgemental, or not meant to be taken literally. Think about how their comment made you feel. Sarcasm usually makes you look or feel foolish. For example, someone might tell their sloppy partner, "I just love getting to put your things back where they belong. How else would you be able to then toss them on the floor?"
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Problem: Article: Extreme temperature fluctuation can damage your champagne and make it less flavorful. To avoid this, chill your champagne in a refrigerator so it can grow cold gradually. This process should take about 4 hours, though some units may chill it at a faster or slower rate. If you need to chill a bottle of champagne quickly, grab a bucket and fill it to the top with ice. Sprinkle the ice with rock salt to help it melt faster, then place your champagne bottle inside. This process should take between 10 and 25 minutes. Never chill a champagne bottle using a freezer. Doing so could ruin the flavor of the drink. To most people, champagne tastes best when served just below storage temperature. This is because colder temperatures make it harder to detect unique aromas while warmer temperatures make the drink appear heavy. Serving just below storage temperature also protects the champagne from extreme cold, preserving its overall taste and texture. To test your bottle's temperature without opening it, purchase a wine bottle thermometer. You can find these at wine and kitchen stores. Once you've chilled and opened a champagne bottle, you can keep it in the fridge for anywhere between 3 and 5 days. To better preserve the drink's texture, cover it with a refrigerator-safe champagne sealer. Excessive vibrations can cause your champagne to lose its flavor, so store it on a shelf that is not used frequently. If you chilled a champagne bottle but did not open it, feel free to place it back inside your storage room for later use. When you first reintroduce it, let it warm up in a separate area so the chilled temperature doesn't affect your other bottles. Then, move it back to its original spot.
Summary: Cool champagne gradually using a refrigerator. Chill your bottle quickly using a bucket of ice. Take your champagne out when it is about 48F (9C). Store opened, chilled champagne bottles in the fridge for up to 5 days. Place sealed, chilled champagne bottles back in your storage room.
