Fluid mechanists have figured out why champagne forms stable chains of bubbles when other bubbly drinks like beer and mineral water don’t.
Glasses of sparkling water, beer, champagne and brut were analysed for the study
A new discovery explains why bubbles in Champagne go up in a straight line, but bubbles in other carbonated drinks, like beer or soda, don't.
Scientists from Brown University have worked out why bubbles in Champagne flow upwards in a straight line, but those in other carbonated drinks do not.
Experiments and simulations indicate that bubble size and the chemistry of the liquid determine whether a chain of bubbles rising in a carbonated drink follows a straight path.
