A flute is the glass for a toast. It is how most people picture Champagne: a tall, slim bowl on a long stem, held by the stem so the wine stays cold. The narrow opening limits how much of the wine meets the air, which slows the loss of carbonation and keeps a steady stream of bubbles rising from the base.
Flute vs coupe vs tulip – which to pick
- Flute (7–9 oz, tall and narrow): the longest-lasting bubbles and the classic toast. Right for Champagne, Prosecco, Cava and brunch cocktails like the Mimosa and Bellini.
- Coupe (5–8 oz, wide and shallow): the 1920s glass. Bubbles fade faster, but it is the glass for a Champagne tower, a French 75 served up, or a Daiquiri. See our coupe glasses.
- Tulip (a flute that widens, then closes at the rim): gathers more aroma for vintage Champagne. Our Prosecco glass sits between the two, slim but with room to swirl.
In this collection: the Gold Rimmed Champagne Flutes pair a squared stem with a hand-applied gold rim, a favourite for weddings and engagements. The Crystal Prosecco & Champagne Glasses are slimmer and lighter, made for Prosecco, Cava and every brunch cocktail.
