With cans you tap on the top a few times before opening them so that the fizz doesn't come bursting out. Is there a similar trick for bottles?

That’s half myth. It might work a little, it might not work at all. Best bet is to just let the beverage sit for a couple minutes.

I learned it in some science-y educational TV show from when I was a kid. It's never failed me.
Found another video with more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrizFz-bgX0

I don’t know who “dine in style” is, and I’m not watching a video.
Here’s one from BBC science focus:
Tapping the sides of the can before you open it might help to dislodge the bubbles, so the gas is all at the top of the can and there are fewer nucleation sites. But it's only partially effective. Leaving the can to stand for a minute works better.
Snopes describes the process and actually conducts an experiment: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/on-tap/
So hence my suggestion that it may work, but is mostly likely myth.

Contrary to what would seem logical, you’re actually supposed to shake them side to side, canceling out the fizz. It’s best to open it up right afterward as well, while holding it under your nose. Old wives trick
