The Art of the Pour

champagne pour paris blogBreaking News! French scientists have figured out the best way to pour champagne…Oui oui, a whole study (lab tests and all) was dedicated to the pouring of bubbly. I wonder how long they spent on this so-called study? *sigh*

From Newsvine:

The scientists at the University of Reims say pouring bubbly at a slant, as you would a beer, preserves more of the tiny gas bubbles that improve the drink’s flavor and aromas…They say the study matters not just to Champagne drinkers but to glassmakers. They note that the industry is researching a “new generation” of Champagne glasses specially designed to control the release of carbon dioxide, the gas that gives the drink its sparkle.

    Ooof – enfin and here I thought I was slanting the glass more out of a well practiced bad habit then anything else. Anything to add to a more complete enjoyment of Champagne has my vote. Merci bien!
