> Obviously that explanation is a gross oversimplification of what champagne flavor is, but could result in a novel way to evaluate/taste a glass of champagne by looking for the quality of bubble chains in it It is not novel, it’s part of how champagne is tasted. It includes the size of the bubbles, their quantity, how close they are to each other in a chain. Fancy glasses are etched so the chains form some patterns for visual interest.
