How to Serve Champagne

When it comes to serving Champagne the choice and preparation of your glassware is very important.

If there are no bubbles in your glass, don’t believe that your Champagne is flat, change the glass and watch the difference…


Which type of glass is the best to serve Champagne in?
To fully appreciate a Champagne wine you must give it the glass it deserves. Its volume and height must be enough to allow the bubbles the space to form and rise to the surface, whilst allowing the temperature to remain as constant as possible.


Glass Shape
The ideal shape is that of a tulip, the Champagne saucer is one to avoid as the aromas and bubbles have too much space and are soon lost into the air.


Glass Thickness
The thickness of the glass also has a role to play, especially on the lips where its finesse heightens our sense of taste.


Washing the Glass
How to wash the glass? Rinse the glasses in hot water without any trace of washing-up liquid, let them drain until dry, then store them upright sheltered from dust.


Did you know?
The residues of washing-up liquid can inhibit the formation of the bubbles.
