... well at least for every people living in Champagne.
No need to make a publication of the ACS in order to discover that thing just ask people from Champagne.

If it interests you, we, people who lived or have passed some time in Champagne, all know that. Next big thing to learn about Champagne ?

• Champagne is MUCH better before eating that after. In fact we NEVER drink champagne with sugared thing, unless it is of half-dry (demi-sec in french) kind.
• Best glasses to drink champagne in are small one with the shape of a pipe.

All those stuff are based on people-experience and on serious studies. The University of Reims (URCA) makes a lot of very serious studies on the stuff. When I studied there some of my friends passed their master thesis on the topic of Champagne Wine. Let's imagine courses where your job is to taste champagne :-)
