For a lot of us, uncorking a bottle is the sound of celebration. It’s also a sound that we may not think too much about—until we open our next bottle. But Dr. Max Koch, a physicist at the University ...

The science behind the distinct "pop and slosh" sound when opening a swing-top bottle of beer has been revealed. German researchers used a high-speed camera to capture exactly what occurs when one of ...

Pop and slosh: a high-speed recording of popping a homebrewed bottle of beer (courtesy: Max Koch) While the physics of uncorking a bottle of champagne has been well documented, less is known about the ...

"The pop's frequency is much lower than the resonation if you blow on the full bottle like a whistle," said Koch. "This is caused by the sudden expansion of the carbon dioxide and air mixture in ...
