For Champagne Bubbles, Smaller Is Better

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the mimosa-ingredients dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "During this holiday season you don't need a special occasion to drink champagne. You can do it everyday, providing you use moderation and common sense. But did you know that champagne taste better when it has tiny bubbles? This is the result of a very serious study published by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and more recently found by the Discovery Channel. And why do you think champagne taste better when carrying smaller bubbles? The answer is pretty obvious. More bubbles are releasing the champagne's flavor and aroma into your mouth. This summary gives you more details. In the mean time, let's all drink champagne!"

    Is balogna only balogna when it is packaged in Balogna, Germany, otherwise it is just ordinary meat?

    ... then it's called "baloney". But under no circumstances would I classify it as "ordinary meat". Actually, I'm even a little suspect about the "meat" part.

    Well now, it's about time alcohol technology gets it's due here!

    Maybe we need a section for martini recipes.... the original open-source?

    How about the pros and cons of RFID tags on Bordeaux bottles?

    "warez" for basement absinthe makers?

    I don't take advice from a dude who uses "creamy texture" and "welcomed by the back of my throat" in the same sentence.
