What glass do you use to drink champagne?

Flute-shaped cup: The stem of the flute-shaped cup is longer, so the drinker can hold the stem of the cup without affecting the temperature of the champagne. However, this flute-shaped cup, which is specially designed to highlight the bubbles of champagne, makes it difficult for the aroma of some champagnes to be fully developed, especially the unique flavor of some aged champagnes and vintage champagnes cannot be fully appreciated, which is a pity.

White wine glass: White wine glass is not specially designed for tasting champagne. The larger body of the white wine glass allows the champagne to be exposed to more air, allowing the taster to experience the changes in the aroma of the wine more quickly. However, some people think that this will affect the taster's grasp of the delicateness of the champagne.

Tulip glass: The shape of the tulip glass is similar to the flute glass, but the cup body is wider and the cup mouth is slightly tightened. It is named because of its tulip-like shape. This cup shape can effectively prevent bubbles from dispersing quickly, ensuring that the drinker can also feel the bubbles on the back of the tongue. The larger capacity of the glass allows the champagne to be more exposed to air in the glass and emit more aroma and flavor. The narrow edge of the cup mouth tightens the aroma, allowing the drinker to fully experience the aroma.

When is the best time to drink champagne?

Notes on drinking champagne

1. Because the taste of champagne is quite strange, you must not brush your teeth before drinking it to avoid the residual toothpaste smell affecting the taste of the champagne.

2. Many people are very familiar with wine, but are very unfamiliar with champagne, and some even don't know what champagne is. In fact, champagne is the king of wines, with rich colors and mellow taste.

3. Before drinking champagne, you must not close it and let it breathe, because this will increase the acidity of the champagne, especially the new champagne that has just been produced.

4. The temperature of champagne must be appropriate, not too high or too low. Generally, 8℃ to 10℃ is the best. It is recommended that you put the champagne in an ice bucket for 10 minutes before drinking it, so that it will be more delicious and palatable.

5. You must use a special champagne glass to enjoy the champagne. It is important to clean the champagne glass before pouring it. Then pour a little, and then pour two-thirds of the champagne glass when the bubbles are less. This way, you can enjoy the champagne in a different way.
