Re: Does fine champaign produce smaller bubbles?

I think the lab of Ho et al has been doing some really pioneering work on this. [/ QUOTE ] I believe they are mostly focused on multiphase flow in microfluidic systems. I could be wrong about that, but the physics is quite a bit different.

Re: Does fine champaign produce smaller bubbles?
I changed my google queries from “champaign” to “sparkling wine”, and found an answer:
[ QUOTE ] In addition to the normal smell and taste criteria of still wine, sparkling wine quality is judged by the size of the bubbles (smaller is better), their persistence (long-lasting is better) and their mouth feel (how well they are integrated into the wine and the relative smoothness or coarseness of their texture). [/ QUOTE ] link

I didn't for a second consider Don Ho. It's trouble using an Asian name and research in the same sentence, there's likely someone with that name doing that research. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Anyway, yeah Chih-Ming Ho at UCLA is a major player in microfluidics. Link Link Quote: "...Professor Chih-Ming Ho’s work ranks at #7, with 26 papers cited a total of 255 times to date. His paper, "Micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) and fluid flows," (C.M. Ho and Y.C. Tai, Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 30: 579-612, 1998) is the third most-cited paper in this field for the past decade, with 153 citations at the time of the analysis."

Re: Does fine champaign produce smaller bubbles?
The traditional means of carbonating champagne is by a second fermentation in the bottle. I believe high end champagnes are still made this way. Very likely some of the cheaper stuff is carbonated by just pressurizing the bottle with CO2.

Re: Does fine champaign produce smaller bubbles?
This has got to be the most pathetic champagne thread ever, even worse than the OOT one on putting the cork back in half a bottle of champagne. It's the champagne equivalent of describing breasts as feeling like bags of sand.

This whole thread began when I tried googling “champaign bubbles” for an answer and kept getting bathtub accessories in a small town in Illinois as a reply. I was too tipsy to realize I was misspelling champagne so I turned to the erudite folks at SMP for the answer to this most perplexing question.
