Don't touch those champagne bottles every day, where did you get that from?!

"La part d'ange" (the part for the angels) is real though, so you sacrifice a bottle every like 15 years (depends) to top up a handfull of others.

Onomatopoeia is talking about riddling.

There is a step in champagne production where the bottles are stored upside down for a month or two and turned regularly. This is to bring all the sediments to the top of the bottle so it can be removed in the next step called disgorgement.

Aah fair enough!

I was there thinking of people rotating bottles daily for 20 years ...
