Did you know that the proper glass is crucial for maximum enjoyment of your favorite bubbly? A Champagne glass should be tall and slender with a stem long enough so that you don't hold the glass by the bowl (which will warm your champagne!). Flute shaped glasses are most common, but tulip-shaped glasses can be used for all types of Champagne and are particularly ideal when drinking "the good stuff" like vintage Champagne and prestige cuvées because it will help unleash the wine's aromas. An alternative to both is a shorter glass with a much wider bowl called a "coupe". This is not recommended as the surface area exposed makes the bubbles disappear quickly. So grab your favorite glassware and Sip on THAT!
