It's a remarkable intersection of chemistry, physics, history, culture and craftsmanship.In this interactive 45-minute session, we'll uncork the science behind the world's most famous sparkling wine. Discover how millions of tiny bubbles are created, why glass shape matters, what really happens when Champagne is poured, and how fluid dynamics influence aroma, flavour and texture.Together we'll explore some of Champagne's biggest myths and old wives' tales, separating fact from fiction. Does a silver spoon keep Champagne fizzy? Are coupe glasses really the best choice? Should you open a bottle with a dramatic pop or a whisper? We'll put common beliefs under the microscope and uncover the evidence behind what truly enhances the drinking experience.Along the way, we'll journey through the fascinating history and culture of Champagne, from royal courts and scientific discoveries to modern celebrations around the world.Expect plenty of demonstrations, surprising insights, sparkling conversation and a few "I never knew that!" moments.Perfect for curious minds, wine lovers, science enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys discovering the hidden stories behind the bubbles.#SipForScienceYour Speaker:Emma Donnelly is a science communicator whose passion for Champagne has led her deep into the worlds of sensory science, flavour perception and the physics of bubbles.Founder of Culinary Science, Emma has spent years exploring the delicious intersection of food, flavour and psychology. Her passion for Champagne has taken her from television screens on My Kitchen Rules to specialist studies through the University of Champagne-Ardenne in France, where she completed a Diploma and undertook research into how glass shape influences Champagne flavour for Australian consumers.Part scientist, part storyteller and part bubbly evangelist, Emma is particularly fascinated by neurogastronomy, the science of how our brains create flavour experiences. Why do bubbles matter? Does glass shape really change taste? Can a silver spoon keep Champagne fizzy? And why does Champagne seem to taste better when we're celebrating?Known for her energetic, hands-on and highly engaging presentation style, Emma combines science, history, culture and a healthy dose of myth-busting to reveal the hidden stories inside every glass.Whether she's discussing fluid dynamics, sensory perception, French winemaking traditions or the perfect pour, Emma's mission is simple: to help people see Champagne not just as a drink, but as one of the world's most delightful scientific experiments.Because every bottle contains chemistry, physics, history, culture, craftsmanship... and a little bit of magic.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PMDoors open and arrival🕑: 07:00 PMSpeaker starts - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/melbourne/champagne-science-bubbles-myths-and-magic/100001992106595453 - **Event Categories**: fitness, science-fair, Art, Entertainment, Theatre, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 18+ - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.78, max: 27.78, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Melbourne - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co - **lat**: -37.8076897 - **long**: 144.9582361 - **full address**: Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co, 466 Queen Street, Melbourne, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Champagne Science: Bubbles, Myths & Magic - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/89666b8679403f14b66b70b2e2f335323acc024c62527ef752ab6aec739b03c1-rimg-w1200-h675-dc2e1615-gmir.jpg?v=1781974039 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Champagne Science: Bubbles, Myths & Magic being held? - **A:** Champagne Science: Bubbles, Myths & Magic takes place on Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Brick Lane Market | Brick Lane Brewing Co, 466 Queen Street, Melbourne, Australia. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Champagne Science: Bubbles, Myths & Magic? - **A:** Champagne Science: Bubbles, Myths & Magic is strictly for guests aged 18 and above.
