Champagne flutes are the preferred choice of glass for most champagne drinkers. There are good reasons for this and they’re not all aesthetic. The design of the glass has several advantages over normal wine glasses. Firstly they retain the chill of the champagne more effectively. Secondly the slender shape also means that the fizz lasts longer, a shallower glass would lose the effervescence much more quickly. Thirdly the glass is normally thinner and for some reason the champagne generally tastes better.

They also look so much better. The elegant shape ensures a steady stream of bubbles rising in a central column up the glass and this has a strong visual appeal. Bubbles prefer an uneven surface to form on and it can be worth slightly scoring the base of the vessel and halfway up the bowl to encourage the mousse. There’s something indefinably thrilling about holding a glass of champagne up to the sunlight and seeing the bubbles catching its beams.

The preferred choice of glass for champagne flutes would have to be crystal as it ensures the steely crispness of the wine remains intact. Wine experts agree that the choice of champagne flute is an essential part of the experience. If you’re going to fork out good money on champagne then you want to make sure you have a glass to match. There are plenty of companies that make excellent flutes but the market leader has to be Riedel.

Critics and punters alike have raved about their crystal champagne flutes and argued that the taste difference is noticeable when compared to other brands. The company have certainly enjoyed great success with their products and Georg Riedel has designed over a hundred different glasses. His Burgundy Grand Cru glass is on permanent display in New York City’s Museum of Modern Art and he’s continually refining his designs to ensure that they remain the favoured choice of receptacle for serious wine drinkers.

Obviously before serving the champagne make sure it’s chilled and also ensure that the flutes have been recently rinsed and cleaned. Traces of detergent or other such chemicals could severely dent your enjoyment of the drink.
