A camera-based, computer-linked "artificial vision system" built by ITMI (Industrie et Technolgie de la Machine), actually recorded the release of bubbles and counted them. The study was financed by Moet & Chandon and Heineken. I would suggest that instead of trying to confirm these findings, you just sit back and enjoy the bubbles.)
