Rating of the best champagne glasses for 2020

Which Champagne Glasses Are Best? Many connoisseurs of sparkling wines have been addressing this topic for a long time. Some designers prefer low and wide bowls. Someone is closer to the modern style - these are narrow elongated flute glasses. One of the authoritative experts in the wine industry, Richard Jalin, believes that a simple glass for white wine can be put an order of magnitude above the rest. Another luminary, Frederico Leonard of the Pernod Ricard brand, noted that fine sparkling wines are best served in ordinary glasses. Simpler drinks should be poured into the classic flut: this form keeps the temperature of the chilled wine longer and gives the bubbles a visual appeal.

Types of sparkling wine glasses

For centuries, people have been drinking wine. At first, drinks were drunk from stone or clay bowls. Later, vessels made of copper and silver appeared. Then humanity invented glass. The famous glassblower Klaus Riedel was the first to propose a thin-walled glass wine glass. His descendants improved the forms and proposed their own concepts.

The narrowed tall flut vessel is popular. It looks like a flute, hence the name. The wine is strongly cooled, poured into a glass with a 2/3 filling and you get real pleasure from the drunk content.

It is important to remember that the sparkling liquid must be gradually poured into a glass set at an angle: no foam appears with this filling.

But it is not recommended to drink champagne from the flute mold, since it is kept on the yeast residue, and a powerful aroma and taste is obtained. Some winemakers suggest drinking it from tulip-shaped glasses. They need to be filled by 30–40% (to the widest point). This glass allows you to feel the floral "citrus" chardonnay or notes of brioche and spices that appear under the influence of yeast.

Simple types of glasses for white wine: Bordeaux, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc. The Bordeaux bowl resembles an ellipse, there are no complex bends and corners in it. For white drinks, the capacity is slightly smaller than for red drinks, it holds no more than 350 ml. The liquid is served chilled, the aromas rise slowly, linger at the upper edge of the glass. Chardonnay vessels have a much smaller volume. Thanks to this, the required temperature of the wines remains longer, and this allows you to drink the drink chilled. Sauvignon blanc containers are an elongated tulip. This helps the wine flow into the mouth to the base of the tongue, affecting certain taste buds.

However, it is not always possible to keep various options for wine glasses in your home arsenal.The enthusiast Kurt Zalto and his partners created the perfect wine vessels based on the proportions of antique amphorae. The Swiss wine theorist Rene Gabriel did not stop there. Through a series of experiments, he created the Gabriel Glas shape suitable for all types of wine. The vessel should be made of thin elegant glass or crystal, have a wide bottom, allowing the wine to be properly oxygenated.

In the minds of people, the word champagne evokes a confident association of the ringing of crystal, although at the moment there are several types of materials from which the utensils for drinking sparkling drinks are made. Thin-walled glass goblets look quite aesthetically pleasing, but they have one significant drawback - insufficient strength. The main advantage of glass is its low cost.

Crystal is considered a truly noble material, such dishes are less fragile, there are opportunities for designer variety. Many people like the inimitable sound of crystal products. The cost of such glasses depends on its type, as well as on the manufacturer.
