There are approximately 49 million bubbles in a standard sized bottle of champagne. Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin's mother's maiden name was Moon. The Cuexcomate volcano outside of Puebla, Mexico, is just 43 feet tall.
Pour a glass at sea level while filming, stop frame and count bubbles. Then check the number of glasses in rhe bottle and multiply that nember by your count. Use metric for accuracy.
I have found,in my anecdotal experience, that Mums Champagne has exactly 82 bubbles rising up to my nose.After the first two sips I added a slice of apple which brought it back up to 95(yes…I counted them before I passed out)

Aldrin was to have been the first to set foot on the moon, but Armstrong puled rank on him.

“Cuexcomate is an inactive geyser.”
I prefer to think of it as a popped earth pimple…
