And I don’t like the answer!
OK, one of my good friends (you know who you are – I figure
you may not want to be cited here for all to know your perfidy) gifted me with
a daily calendar: “365 days of Trivia” (www.pageaday.com). Day number one ruined
my life.
“What makes a glass of Champagne fizz?” Now, I reckoned that I was in for that explanation
that I can never remember about the CO2, etc. but no – it was worse, much worse:
and again I quote: “Dust particles and dish towel fibers … according to
scientists at the University of Reims, in Champagne-Ardenne, France. They found
that if a glass was totally smooth and debris-free, carbon dioxide molecules in
Champagne would not bubble up; they would evaporate without ever being seen.”
So the fact that I love the bubbles means that I have dirty
glasses and that the champagnes I have not liked as well, due to lack of
bubbles, were actually served in clean glasses?
My world will never be the same.
