The contents in the bottle are sealed under pressure, and as you open the bottle, you release the pressure, and the fluid can no longer hold all of the CO 2 that was dissolved in it, so the CO 2 escapes, forming bubbles.

    The hydrostatic pressure due to mean water level variation is \(p_0 = -\rho g z\) and hence linearly increases from zero at the water surface \(z = -\) to \(p_0 = \rho gh\) at the bottom \(z = -h\). I...The hydrostatic pressure due to mean water level variation is \(p_0 = -\rho g z\) and hence linearly increases from zero at the water surface \(z = -\) to \(p_0 = \rho gh\) at the bottom \(z = -h\). In the case of waves, the total pressure is the sum of this hydrostatic pressure \(p_0\) (from \(z = -h\) to \(z = \eta\)) plus the wave-induced or dynamic pressure \(p_0\) wave from (from \(z = -h\) to \(z = \eta\)).
