It appears that Champagne should be poured down the side of the glass, rather than over the centre.

BBC report.

I'm sorry, I thought that was the natural way for anyone who respects the stuff to pour it.

Beats me, too.

I can understand that there is a place for researchers to go out and check the common sense assumptions, because that's the only way you find out where common sense is wrong. But if every case where common sense was right was to be reported, there'd be no place left for reporting when it turned out wrong.
