Login with FacebookAs we approach Valentine’s Day, a BIG BUBBLY HOLIDAY, I thought you might enjoy some of these fun bubbly facts:
• The average speed of a cork coming out of a bubbly bottle is 40 MPH (So be careful!)
• The average number of bubbles per flute is 2 million
• California champagne bubbles are smaller at the bottom of the flute and increase as they rise toward the surface… bubbles burst at the surface
• Cellulose fibers (DUST) help facilitate bubble production in flutes. (If you want a REALLY bubbly glass of champagne, rub a paper towel in the glass before pouring.)
• The higher the temperature of the bubbly, the faster the bubbles will rise to the surface and come out of solution (and the bubbly will become flat faster.)
• Young bubbly has bigger bubbles and ‘aged’ champagne has smaller bubbles (it is NOT a function of charmat vs. method champenoise.)
• There is two times the amount of CO2 in champagne vs. beer
• The ‘foam’ or fizz on the top of champagne is just bursting bubbles
• When possible, serve bubbly in etched flutes as they will allow the release of bubbles, CO2 and aromas faster than non-etched glassware.
