Prized for its freshness, vitality, and sensuality, champagne is a wine of great complexity. Mysteries aplenty gush forth with the popping of that cork. Just what is that fizz? Can you judge champagne quality by how big the bubbles are, by how long they last, by how they behave before they fade? Why exactly does serving champagne in a longstemmed flute prolong both the chill and the effervescence?Through lively prose and a wealth of stateoftheart, highspeed photos, this book unlocks the door to the mystery of what champagne effervescence is really all about. Grard LigerBelair provides an unprecedented closeup view of the beauty in the bubblesimages that look surprisingly like lovely flowers, geometric patterns, even galaxies as they rise through the glass and then burst forth on the surface. He fully illustrates: how bubbles form not on the glass itself but are instead "born" out of debris stuck on the glass wall; how they rise; and how they burstthe most picturesque and functional stage of the bubble's fleeting life.Uncorked also provides a colorful history of champagne, tells us how it is made, and asks: could global warming spell its demise?
