Champagne corks – ask Decanter

Champagne corks – ask Decanter

September 21, 2016 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

In responding to an inquiry of why champagne corks have a mushroom shape, Dr Paulo Lopes reveals that the cork’s absorption of carbon dioxide from champagne leads to the mushroom shape to form. The cork disk on the bottom has greater elasticity in comparison to the rest of the cork, leading to the cork disk to absorb CO2 more readily and leads the cork to have that mushroom shape to develop.
