Dr. Vinny (2014-01-29). "Is it better to drink Champagne in a regular wineglass instead of a flute?". Wine Spectator. Archived from the original on March 30, 2022. Liger-Belair, Gérard (2004). Uncorked: The Science of Champagne. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press. ISBN 9780691119199. The champagne flute was developed along with other wine stemware in the early 18th century as the preferred shape for sparkling wine as materials for drinking vessels shifted from metal and ceramic to glassware. [5] Initially, the flute was tall, conical, and slender; [6] by the 20th century, preferences changed from a straight-sided glass to one which curved inward slightly near the lip. [7] As champagne and sparkling wine continues to be accessible, the champagne tulip glass has been marketed as a solid investment towards sparkling wine lovers. Apart from carrying all the promising qualities of both the coupe and flute glasses, it’s also inspired wine glass makers like the Riedel brand to introduce a new collection.

Champagne coupes are also known as saucers and have been long tied to the popular myth that they were modeled after French princess, Marie Antoinette’s breasts. Over the years, as sparkling wine became more popular and accessible outside of the elite upper classes, other styles of Champagne glasses soon evolved. By the 1920s, the traditional coupes had gone out of favour and were replaced by the slimmer Champagne flutes . The Champagne flute is a tall and slender glass, perfect for a celebratory clink, and brings elegance to any event. Its narrow design retains the wine’s fizz and aromas for longer and allows the bubbles to rise smoothly to the top.A [universal] wine glass with a more narrow mouth and no etching will allow your wine to stay bubbly longer,” says Colbert. "This glass funnels the wine evenly across the front of your palate, giving you more flavor and texture upfront and a less intense finish." Austrian-made Gabriel-Glas has some of the best all-purpose wine glasses on the market, offering two different stemware options in the same silhouette: one machine-molded (the StandArt edition) and one mouth-blown (the Gold edition). Think of these glasses as a larger and more versatile version of the tulip glass with a longer taper—they have a broad base and an elegantly narrowed mouth, designed to highlight a wine’s journey to your palate. The tulip and the flute both boast the rough bead at the base to further support the aeration of bubbles and provide a certain fizz to every sip.

Use a flute to bring class and elegance to any event. Whether an intimate dinner or a wedding celebration, the flute’s slender design keeps your wine perfectly bubbly and cool.The glass is quite easy to clean, mostly due in part to the larger opening up top. As a Universal Wine glass (which it is marketed as), I'd definitely appreciate it as non-sparkling glass option. However, for sparkling wines, I would not recommend this product as a go-to. If you like watching champagne bubbles bounce off of each other and see the liquid dance, then this champagne glass is better suited for the theatrics. The Radical Shift Expertly made in Poland, this set of four glasses have tulip-shaped bowls to allow champagne, sparkling wines and prosecco to breathe and release fragrance. The tapered rim retains bubbles and the long stem preserves the chilled temperature of the glass and its contents.
