Champagne Flutes and Other Stemware

As previously mentioned, champagne flutes are a form of stemware. Champagne flutes are joined in this category by many other popular drink ware such as wine glasses, chalices, goblets, brandy snifters and cocktail glasses (such as martini and margarita glasses). All such stemware is designed in the same manner but each retains their own unique look that is associated with the drinks they contain. All stemware is designed to be held by the stem in order to keep the drinks cooler for longer.

An alternative to the champagne flute, called a champagne coupe, is commonly used with champagne as well. However, the champagne coupe became less used due to its design. The coupe has a wide, saucer shaped bowl and is no longer preferred because this wide bowl, when compared to the narrow opening of the flute, is poorly designed to preserve the aroma and bubbles of the champagne.
