Choosing the Right Glass for Champagne: Flute, Coupe, or Tulip?

The glass you choose can elevate your champagne experience. Each shape influences how bubbles form, aromas collect, and flavors unfold. Here’s what to know before your next pour:

1. The Flute

Tall and narrow, the flute preserves bubbles and showcases the elegant rise of carbonation. It’s perfect for visual appeal and crisp, dry champagnes—but it can limit aroma.

2. The Coupe

A vintage favorite with its wide, shallow bowl, the coupe looks glamorous but allows bubbles to fade quickly. It’s best suited for sweeter or sparkling cocktails rather than fine champagne.

3. The Tulip — The Best Choice

Combining the best of both worlds, the tulip glass has a wider bowl that tapers at the top. This design captures aromas while keeping the bubbles lively. It’s the ideal glass for savoring all the complexity of fine champagne.

For your next toast, reach for the tulip—it lets your champagne taste as brilliant as it should.
