Ever wondered what science has to do with a glass of wine? On Wednesday 19 November at 19:00, join us at Din L-Art Ħelwa, Valletta for Sip & Explore — a captivating evening where science, art, and flavour come together.
In this fun and interactive talk, Dr Anthony Galea will uncork the hidden physics behind one of life’s greatest pleasures. Discover how the journey from grape to glass is shaped by science — from the chemistry of fermentation to the physics behind different cork types, the mysterious punt at the bottom of the bottle, and the shimmering “tears” that trace the inside of your glass. Every sip tells a story of surface tension, evaporation, and the beauty of scientific balance.
Dr Anthony Galea, Senior Lecturer at the University of Malta and researcher within the Oceanography Malta Research Group, is celebrated for his engaging approach to science communication. With humour and clarity, he turns complex concepts into fascinating stories that spark curiosity and invite audiences to see the world — and their wine — through a scientific lens.
Raise your glass to curiosity and join us for an evening that blends insight, laughter, and a touch of wine magic.

Hosted by Malta Café Scientifique and Din L-Art Ħelwa — where science and culture meet to inspire and engage.
