Did you know that there are about one million bubbles in a glass or flute of champagne? Apparently, winemakers and scientists from all over the world have decided many years ago that this number is more realistic than the earlier approximation, which was around 15 million.
This little gem is one of the few “facts” I can remember to this day from a wine tour I took to the Chandon winery in Napa Valley, California, 16 years ago. That was the first time I had ever been on such a tour, though I had been curious about it ever since the movie Sideways, set in Napa, came out in 2004.
