Five Famous Champagne Quotes:
I only drink Champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty." (Lily Bollinger)
My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne." (John Meynard Keynes)
Two warm bodies and one cold bottle of Champagne will produce something more wonderful than would happen without the Champagne." (Helen Gurley Brown)
"One holds a bottle of red wine by the neck, a woman by the waist, and a bottle of Champagne by the derriere." (Mark Twain)
"Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking it." (Madame De Pompadour)
Question: How many bubbles are in a bottle of Champagne?
Bruno Dutertre headed a three year, $7 million joint-project between Moet & Chandon and Heineken. At the heart of this research was a camera-based, computer-linked "artificial vision" system built by ITMI (Industrie et Technolgie de la Machine), which actually recorded the release of bubbles and counted them.
According to Monsieur Dutertre, there are on average 250 million bubbles in a bottle of Champagne, not lager.
