Why does water not escape freely when a narrow-mouthed bottle is suddenly inverted?

Water does not escape freely from a narrow-mouthed bottle when it is suddenly inverted because of surface tension. The surface tension of water causes it to form a concave meniscus at the opening, creating a barrier that prevents water from flowing out easily. Additionally, air pressure inside the bottle resists the flow of water out of the narrow opening.
