More corks on more bottles of Champagne are popping during the holiday season than at any other time of the year. More than 600 different chemical compounds join carbon dioxide in champagne, each lending its own unique quality to the aroma and flavor of this celebrated beverage. So raise your glass and make a holiday toast to the chemistry behind champagne!

Produced by the American Chemical Society (ACS)
Written, directed and narrated by Adam Dylewski
Art and animation by Sean Parsons

  • Nice ....

  • You should know that only wanna-be intellectuals with a mediocre taste regard ethanol as a source of prestige. Ethanol has never been the source those societies that you depicted at the beginning. It has always led to the destruction of those intellectual persons and their societies. Ethanol is a threat to health and productive thinking.

    Let's just say that you drink it, you never had it.

  • that was... interesting
