Shop Different Shapes & Sizes
The glass you use for wines -- including Champagne -- influences how it tastes. Our selection of glasses come in different shapes to suit different wines. Keep these elegant glasses at the ready for the holidays and special occasions.
- Coupes. Made popular in the 1920s, the coupe features a wide, flat shape. It works best with sweeter Champagne styles or with your favourite Manhattan or martini.
- Flutes. These tall, slim glasses allow the bubbles of Champagne, Prosecco and other sparkling wines to rise to the top in an alluring helix. Perfect for formal and semiformal gatherings, these glasses showcase the best qualities of Champagne and other fine sparkling wines.
- Stemless. The narrow bowl highlights the bouquet, flavour and bubbles of Champagne. Boasting flat bottoms and a more tumbler-style design, stemless wine glasses are casual and suited for intimate gatherings. They're also easy to store.
- Engraved glasses. Toast the big day with a flute made especially for brides, grooms and bridesmaids. These personalized glasses make a great gift for special occasions.
Try Decanting Champagne
One of the best things about Champagne is the bubbles, but a recent trend is to decant Champagne. This is a fun thing to try, particularly if you are a fan of the mousse or foam.
- This is particularly popular with older Champagnes as the complex aromas become more enticing as they air out in a decanter.
- For some Champagne enthusiasts, the bubbles of a younger Champagne are too aggressive and they prefer to let them dissipate slightly to fully enjoy the mousse.
- You can use a special Champagne decanter or try it with one you'll use with wine, too.
Add Red and White Wine Glasses
If you love to entertain, it's even more crucial to round out your set of glasses. Let your guests share in the pleasure of a well-paired meal and bottle served in the perfect glass.
- Crisp white wines pair best with straighter and slimmer glass shapes.
- Robust reds should be poured in a wider bowl to allow it to breathe properly.
