Champagne

<< < (2/4) > >>

Disco Matt:
The secret to controlling champagne at sea level is to chill it for some time before opening - do that and it won't open explosively. I can't comment on what it will do at altitude but suspect it will shoot the cork out before the bottle explodes.

Grumpy:
Sounds like a Job for Mythbusters :)

Thrasher:
My Dad and my brother are off that way too - I dropped them off at Heathrow at the weekend. Will see them in 3 weeks time, lucky gits  :twisted:

It'll be Dads second time in 2 years :)

Ive heard rumors of air bubbles trapped in old fasion tooth fillings expanding and shattering teeth, not sure how true that is though.

So I reckon it will explode, but thats only if it hasnt frozen first  :lol: :lol:

But thats what happens when I drink champagne anyway. Plus I burp alot, say strange things to people I don't know, and usually honk everywhere. :embarrassed:

if gas expands so much when you get to that altitude what will happen if you drink it  :lol:
