Celebrations often call for champagne. If you are planning to host a champagne party, bring in some essentials to make your party a success. As the flavor and aroma of champagne depends on the selection of the glass, opt for appropriate champagne glasses. There are three main types of champagne glasses: the coupe, the flute and the tulip glass. The Coupe The coupe champagne glass, also known as the saucer glass, is a shallow, wide-rimmed glass with a relatively short stem. Coupe glasses have a large area exposed to air which causes the bubbles to dissipate quickly which makes flute glasses a better choice. You can use coupe glasses as a unique way to serve ice cream or chocolate pudding. The Flute The flute champagne glass, sometimes called a trumpet flute, is a tall, narrow glass with a medium to long stem. Many flutes have a roughened point in the bottom of the bowl. This point causes the bubbles to congregate there and then rise to the top of the glass, directing the flow of the bubbles. Flutes and trumpet flutes have either a straight mouth or a flared mouth, making these glasses best for younger sparkling wines. The Tulip The tulip champagne glass, sometimes also referred to as a champagne flute is similar to the regular flute, but always features a rim that curves inwards. Tulip glasses have a wide bowl and a narrow mouth, and are similar to a regular white wine glass. For older, higher quality champagnes, a white wine glass is a good alternative for a tulip glass. Besides champagne glasses, you will also need wine chillers to keep the champagne chilled. Wine chillers come in various shapes and sizes. Make a choice depending on how many bottles need to be chilled and where the chiller will be located. Here are some aspects to consider while selecting wine chillers. It is essential to keep wine and champagne at a consistent temperature. If you want to chill a few bottles, a small refrigerator is a compact option that fits in with most home decor styles. For small spaces, opt for tabletop wine chillers. Look for temperature controls on the outside, so that you don't have to open the door to change settings, which can affect temperature consistency within the refrigerator. Opt for chillers with good shelving, as bottles should easily slide in and out, and stay stable when you retrieve a bottle. With these essentials, you can host a champagne party with ease.
