There were 7 corkscrews submitted in this challenge - great idea for "Mechanical" but only one imagedemonstrated a significant amount of effort, thought and creativity. Your photo is a well deserving ribbon winner - congrats on some great photography.

I didn't vote in this challenge but in browsing through the entries I came across this picture and it was clear that it would capture the Blue Ribbon. Congrats on a fantastic photo!

About the technical:

To manage the timing , an electronic sound activated device was used to trigger the flash. It is an simple homemade circuit.

To control the light is more difficult, as splashs are unpredictables, I tried to put white reflectors everywhere possible. An black background was positioned one meter far.

As champagne was expensive, an cheaper substitute was used. Sorry for this non glamourous true.

Thanks all again.

Edited: About the tries, I did an set of 25 shots, went to the computer an analyze at the monitor. As none was good, I did another set of 25, which produced 3 good images. I think I selected the best one.
