Gear: Champagne Glasses

A Champagne flute’s signature slim shape is more than just an aesthetic choice. A glass’s style will highlight different characteristics in the wine—a tapered rim keeps more bubbles in the glass, a wider bowl emphasizes aromatics, and a pointed base creates an alluring stream of bubbles. Whether it’s for a casually festive function or an elegant affair, a Champagne glass is a signal of the celebratory. Here are six options to keep the bubbles on point.

Riedel Superleggero Champagne Wine Glass

Riedel steps outside the flute mold with this thoughtfully crafted egg-shaped glass from their Superleggero (“extra light”) line. The wide-bodied diameter allows for more aeration of aromas, while the tapered sparkling point at the base releases more consistent bubbles. Each glass is mouth-blown by in-house artisans from Riedel’s signature crystal to be ultra thin, lightweight, and molto chic. $139, riedel.com
