February 17, 2006, Newsletter Issue #4: Flat Or flute?

Tip of the Week

There are two types of champagne glasses. The classic one is the long, thin "flute". The other type is stemware also, and is shaped like a shallow, wide dish. So is one better than the other? well, that all depends. If you´re drinking a toast, and will be finishing your champagne all in one go, the shallow glass is best because it´s easier to drink from quickly. If you´ll be sipping your champagne, however, the flute is the way to go, because it´s narrow shape holds in the effervescence much better than the shallow glass. I´ve toasted with a flute and had it spill on me, and I´ve sipped from a shallow glass and had my champagne go flat before I was finished. Neither added to my enjoyment of my champagne experience, so I´m passing this on to you, in hopes that your champagne experience will be everything you want it to be.
