The shape of the champagne glass affects how many bubbles there are

Champagne.

香槟。

Do you drink it out of a narrow flute or the broader, more shallow coupe?

你是用窄长笛喝呢，还是用宽而浅的杯?

You may have noticed that your perception of the bubbly wine changed as gas escaped from it,

你可能已经注意到，当气体从气泡酒中逸出时，你对气泡酒的看法发生了变化，

and new research finds that the concentration of gas depends on the glass.

新的研究发现，气体的浓度取决于玻璃。

French researchers, but of course, monitored the concentration of ethanol（乙醇） and carbon dioxide in each type of glass for 15 minutes after champagne was poured.

当然，法国研究人员在倒入香槟后，对每种酒杯中乙醇和二氧化碳的浓度进行了15分钟的监测。

They discovered that there was a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the tall flute（长笛） than the broad coupe（小轿车）.

他们发现，在高高的长笛里的二氧化碳浓度比在宽阔的小轿车里的要高得多。

Infrared（红外线的） imaging of the glasses gave a visual confirmation.

眼镜的红外成像给了视觉上的确认。

Although the glass shape did not affect the concentration of ethanol vapor, the temperature did, with chilled champagne releasing less ethanol,

尽管玻璃的形状不会影响乙醇蒸汽的浓度，但温度却会影响。

but the same amount of carbon dioxide.

而是同样数量的二氧化碳。

The work is in the journal Public Library of Science ONE.

这项研究发表在《综合科学公共图书馆》杂志上。

Based on their findings, the researchers were able to construct a model for how carbon dioxide moves from liquid to gas.

基于他们的发现，研究人员能够建立一个模型来模拟二氧化碳是如何从液体变成气体的。

And for champagne drinkers, the finding may help them choose the perfect glass.

对于爱喝香槟的人来说，这一发现可能会帮助他们选择最完美的杯子。

Cheers.

欢呼。
