The basic reason supercooling is possible in the first place is that the formation of ice crystals in water has two competing factions, the interior and the surface. The interior of ice has less energy than liquid water, so the interior wants to freeze. But the surface of ice, the boundary between the ice and the liquid water, the surface actually takes more energy to form than if it just stayed liquid, so it wants to stay liquid. Who wins? Well, volume is a multiple of the radius cubed, but surface area is only a multiple of the radius squared, which means big things tend to have proportionally large interiors, while small things tend to have proportionally large surfaces. So a really, really tiny ice crystal will have proportionally way more surface than interior, and the surface's desire to melt will win over the interior's desire to freeze. In supercooled water, any really tiny ice crystals that form melt back into liquid. Only once you get a large enough ice crystal – and the exact size depends on the temperature – only with a large enough ice crystal is the interior proportionally big enough that its desire to freeze wins out over the surface, and the crystal can grow bigger and bigger and bigger. At negative 4 degrees Celsius, the tipping point is when crystals get larger than around 20 nanometers in size, aka about 70 water molecules across. At colder temperatures, the tipping point is smaller – for example, at negative 10 degrees Celsius, you only need a crystal larger than around 10 nanometers in size, about 30 molecules across. This battle between interior and exterior is why pure water cooled below the freezing point won't necessarily freeze right away – it remains as a supercooled liquid and has to wait until a crystal forms that's bigger than the tipping point and can keep growing and freeze the whole bottle. Which can happen by waiting, or by cooling the water more so the tipping point crystal size gets smaller, or if you have other stuff like minerals or dust particles in the water that can jumpstart the ice crystal formation by being bigger than the tipping point, or if you provide a jolt of energy, like by smacking the bottle. Then a crystal can get above the tipping point size and freeze.
