Followup to: "champagne & silver spoons"  by david  (Mon Aug 20. 2001, 09:51 UTC)
I am reading a book called, "How to Enjoy wine," by Hugh Johnson.  It mentions 
that a silver spoon in Champagne helps keep in the fizz and they don't know 
how. However this web site:
 
http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/database/Technology/0104/t00354d.html

Says the contrary.  

I'm not a Champagne drinker, but the only way to prove this is to take two 
twin bottles of champagne kept at the exact same temperature and open both.  
Put a siver spoon in one, wait, and see what happens.

See these other articles on Champagne and silver spoons:
