Thermography shows why the way champagne is served should change


Researchers at the University of Reims are studying the effervescence of champagne using the FLIR SC7000 thermal imaging camera. Using the thermography technique for gas detection, they have succeeded in visualizing CO2 diffusion and quantifying the evolution of the concentration as a function of the champagne serving technique and the shape of the glass. Their study has led to conclusions that are directly applicable to the gastronomic and catering sector.
