Collection of collapsing bubble driven phenomena found in champagne glasses

Abstract

A simple glass of champagne or sparkling wine may seem like the acme of frivolity to most of people, but in fact it may rather be considered as a fantastic playground for any fluid physicist. In this tutorial review, the collapse of gaseous CO2 bubbles found at the free surface of a glass poured with champagne is depicted, through high speed photography and high speed video cameras. A collection of collapsing bubble driven phenomena are gathered, which illustrate the fine interplay between bubbles and the fluid around.
