Fizziness -not known.
« on: August 15, 2020, 05:06:10 PM »
I tried ''fizziness' in yesterday's 7-by many, but got 'sorry, not known'
COD has it, as well as fizzily which might be worth remembering for future games, perhaps.

My poor old brain experiences quite a lot of " fizziness "  after trying to master any of the 7 - by many games.

I think I tried it too, Mike, and was a bit surprised it wasn't accepted. It is listed in a few dictionaries, and it's certainly used. For example the Daily Mail (UK) in the lead up to Christmas last year had some helpful tips about champagne, including:

Quote
Once opened, champagne starts losing its iconic fizziness. The only options you have are to finish the bottle the same day you opened it or alternatively, use a proper bottle stopper.

Do not bother putting a teaspoon in the top of the bottle – it doesn’t work!

(Or you can use it in cooking.)

In future fizziness will be accepted as a rare word.

I saw a YouTube recently on how to make "champagne" with sodastream and chardonnay. Sodastream - Fizziness by another name.

I've put a teaspoon in an open bottle of different types of fizzy wine.  Mainly prosecco.  I've usually found it still drinkable next day.  Have to admit I've never tried it with proper champagne!!
