Anatomy of a flute glass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Champagne glass (also referred to as a flute) is a long-stemmed glass with a cylindrical body. It\u2019s most commonly used for drinking Champagne or sparkling wine. Its long bowl is meant to contain Champagne bubbles that inevitably rise when Champagne is poured into the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Champagne glass is the standard glass used at just about any celebration where Champagne is served. If you find yourself at a wedding or New Years party, you can rest assured that you will find a few of these glasses sporting the bubbly good stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWedding couple with champagne flute glasses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nVariations of the Champagne Glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n There are a few Champagne glass variations, including the flute glass, tulip glass, wide tulip, and trumpet glass. The coupe (which we have already covered) is also a Champagne glass (think of it as an ultra-wide tulip glass)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flute Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n The Flute glass is the most common Champagne glass. You will recognize it by its long stem and slightly concave rim, which helps limit the carbonation from dissipating too quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tulip Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n The Tulip glass has the same size bowl but leads into a more bulbous body than the Champagne flute. This design further limits the escape of carbonation while allowing the drinker to enjoy their drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wide Tulip Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n The wide tulip is the same as the tulip, but well, wider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Trumpet Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n This glass gets its name from its trumpet-like shape. It has an elaborate design while maintaining the elegant look you would expect from a Champagne glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coupe Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n The coupe glass was the original Champagne glass. You\u2019ll commonly see coupe glasses at weddings wheel stacked to make a sort of Champagne pyramid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
History of the Champagne Glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n For the first 300 years of its life, Champagne was served in a coupe glass. Which, as you can imagine, would dissipate carbonation very quickly, would spill easily, and did not account for the accumulating bubbles \u2013 not ideal. It wasn’t until the 1950s that the flutes were popularized. I, for one, am thankful for the transition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How many Ounces Can A Champagne Glass Hold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Both the Champagne glass and tulip glass allow approximately 6 fluid ounces but will only be filled to about 4 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which Drinks Are Served in a Champagne Glass? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n Besides Champagne, these glasses are suitable for sparkling wines like Prosecco and Cava and cocktails. Here are five drinks that should always and only be served in a Champagne glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine Glasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This glass needs no introduction\u2026 But if you’re reading this, it probably does. The wine glass is one of the most iconic symbols of alcohol culture. It represents letting loose with style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be noted that there are more than two wine glasses, including port, chardonnay, and dessert glasses, But we will only cover the two most popular ones. The red and white wine glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Red Wine Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n The red wine glass has a flat base, long stem, and large, almost balloon-like bowl to expose the wine’s surface area to more oxygen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
White Wine Glass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n White wine glasses are similar to their red counterparts but are slightly smaller and have a taller, narrower bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the Difference Between a Red and White Wine Glass?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The main difference between a red wine glass and a white wine glass is size. Because wine can range from being light-bodied to full-bodied, subtle to bold flavors and aromas, and other considerable factors, the intake of oxygen and outtake of the wine’s gasses dictate the construct of the glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Red Wine glasses are larger than white wine glasses. This is to allow the drinker to swirl the wine and allow the wine to breathe. Red wines need that extra room whilst white wines do not have the same level of viscosity, and so less swirling is needed to detect its aromas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
History of the Wine Glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The history of the wine glass goes as far back as wine itself, but the design we know today originated in the medieval period, around the 1400s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Venetians were the first to create something called crystallography, a form of clear glass. However, It wasn’t until the 1670s that the wine glass got its beautiful clear shine thanks to an English man named George Ravenscroft, who used his own patented techniques to make glass as clear as crystal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Many Ounces Can a Wine Glass Hold?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A red wine glass can hold around 12 to 14 fluid ounces, while white wine glasses can hold 8 to 12 ounces. But a true wine aficionado knows not to fill wine glasses all the way to the rim. They should, in fact, leave sufficient room to oxidize the wine and experience all the wine has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drinks That Use a Wine Glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n To be honest, nothing other than wine (including fortified wines) should be going in your wine glasses. We’ve seen people attempt to use wine glasses for other drinks but usually end up with a broken glass or the drink being unpleasant to drink. So in short, the only drinks you should be using these glasses with are as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
