Product Information

The coupe is a Champagne glass with a broad, shallow bowl and a short, elegant stem. It’s this iconic round shape that is long rumoured to have been modelled on the breast of young 18 th century French Queen, Marie-Antoinette.

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. When drinking from a stemmed Champagne flute, it’s best to hold the glass by pinching the top of the stem between your thumb and forefinger. This stops you from warming the Champagne with your hands and keeps it nice and cold. With a stemless flute, you’ll have to hold the glass by the base, which provides for a more comfortable fit but also heats the wine. Synonymous with style and opulence, the coupe’s shape lets you watch the bubbles joyfully dance around the glass. Although its design does mean that the fizz dissipates more easily, the popular aesthetic adds a touch of theatrics to your drinking experience.That's right, it doesn't always need to be a classic flute. Ranging in size and shape, there's a bunch of glasses you can drink Champagne from, here's a simple guide: Champagne flutes Champagne coupes , also known as Champagne saucers, were the original Champagne glasses specifically designed for serving our favourite effervescent wine. They were popularised in England in the early 1800s and are one of the oldest styles of Champagne glassware. Now, we love a glass of Champers as much as the next person and, if you're reading this, the chances are you do too. But when it comes to drinking Champagne, any old glass won't do. If you're partial to a bit of the bubbly, you've got to do it properly... and that means owning a set of dedicated Champagne glasses.

So, to summarise… Although all share a similar slender design, there are different variations of the flute. From traditional designs to more unusual Champagne flutes, here are some of the most common styles: Champagne flutes and tulips are both taller and slimmer than the coupe. The flute has straighter sides and a more streamlined design that tapers at the rim. This reduces the amount of oxygen that can get into the glass and helps it retain the Champagne’s carbonation and aroma. Similarly to the flute and coupe, to keep the Champagne at the optimal temperature, it’s best to hold your tulip glass at the top of the stem or by the base to avoid warming the wine with your hands.

Perhaps the least traditional of the lot, Champagne tumblers are stemless and therefore less likely to spill on uneven surfaces (especially after one too many glasses). A quirky and versatile option to add to your glassware collection. It’s this signature teardrop shape that traps the aromas inside the bowl and funnels them towards the drinker’s nose. The wider bowl also provides more room for the bubbles to aerate and dance around, but the narrow rim means they don’t easily escape. Having enjoyed their heyday in the 1950s, there's been a recent resurgence in Champagne saucers or coupe glasses (in fact, you'll likely have been served fizz out of these in a trendy restaurant or bar).

We all love a glass of bubbly to add a touch of class to any occasion, but did you know that different types of Champagne glasses can make a difference to the fizz, flavour and aroma? The iconic coupe, the elegant flute and the classic tulip are all types of Champagne glassware that each brings their own unique style and a different drinking experience. Following the success of the Champagne flute, tulip Champagne glasses became popular around the world in the 1930s. Tulip glasses, taking their name from the flower, have a long, narrow stem, and an elongated oval shape. They are similar in design to Champagne flutes but have a broader, rounder middle and a narrow top. Whether that's a set of celebratory flutes, classy coupés, or a budget-friendly set for your next big party, the choice is all yours. Finally, the Champagne glass material impacts the drinking experience. Crystal outperforms glass in terms of transparency and brightness, so you may enjoy the Champagne’s colour more. Crystal can also be produced extremely thin while remaining durable. As there is less material interacting with your mouth, you may appreciate the wine's flavour more fully. Champagne glass stylesThe flute’s narrow design is perfect for retaining the bubbles and bouquet of your favourite Champagne. Its elegant, slender shape means you won’t have as much wine per glass as other designs, but the flute keeps Champagne cool and adds a touch of class. The flute’s signature tall and narrow shape is advantageous for better preserving the flavour and carbonation of the wine. The central indent at the bottom of the glass also acts as a congregating point for the bubbles and helps them float smoothly to the top. Of course, the style you choose depends largely on the sort of drinking occasion you've got lined up, and whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift. We've covered options for all budgets, from classic flutes to chic coupes – and just about everything in between. The classic Champagne glass, a flute is tall with a medium to long stem, which prevents your hands warming the wine. If you look inside, many will have a small point at the bottom of the glass which causes the bubbles to gather and rise to the top. Great for any kind of fizz. Champagne tulips
