Champagne study: flute, coupe glass undesired | Sci-Tech | DW.DE | 09.02.2012

When it comes to pouring champagne, long, skinny flutes and short, wide coupes have existed side by side for generations. But neither is really the ideal for enjoying a glass of top-shelf bubbly, new research shows.

While beers and wines generally have glasses designed to highlight their taste characteristics, when it comes to champagne the flute and coupe have happily co-existed. Glassmakers, however, may have to rethink their stemware recommendations after reading research published Wednesday in the online journal PLoS ONE.

Really, most fancy shaped glasses are more about marketing than flavour. Belgium is the worst offender in this regard

No way I'm giving up my flute collection. Besides, I like a noseful of CO2.
