Why are champagne bottles a little heavy?

When you pour champagne at a dinner party, do you think the champagne bottle is a bit heavy? We usually only need one hand to pour red wine, but pouring champagne may require two hands.

The weight of a champagne bottle is almost twice that of an ordinary red wine bottle! The weight of ordinary red wine bottles is usually around 450 grams, while some champagne bottles weigh 600-900 grams.

Champagne bottles need to withstand a pressure of 6 atmospheres. If the weather is hot in summer and the champagne is placed in the trunk of a car for a few days, the pressure inside the champagne bottle will directly rise to 14 atmospheres.

Therefore, when manufacturers manufacture champagne bottles, they have stipulated that each champagne bottle must withstand a pressure of at least 20 atmospheres, so that there will be no accidents later.
