Champagne flute
Champagne flute
The Champagne flute (pronunciation: /ʃæmˈpeɪn fluːt/) is a stem glass with a tall, narrow bowl, often used to serve champagne and other sparkling wines.
Etymology
The term "Champagne flute" comes from the shape of the glass, which is similar to a closed flute, a musical instrument. The name "Champagne" is derived from the Champagne region of France, where the drink is traditionally produced.
Description
The Champagne flute is designed to optimize the drinking experience of champagne. Its tall, narrow shape helps to preserve the carbonation in the drink, while the stem prevents the drinker's hand from warming the champagne. The flute's design also allows for the optimal viewing of the champagne's bubbles rising to the top.
