In the past, champagne bowls were generally the non-plus ultra and could be found in almost every household. But unfortunately, you had to empty them quickly so that the foam and the rising bubbles didn't evaporate so quickly. In addition, the flavors evaporate more quickly due to the wide shape.

The tulip is a tall sparkling wine glass, characteristic is the usually short style. Due to the narrow opening and the shape, the carbonic acid dissipates slowly and the mousse of the noble sparkling wine comes out very well.

Characteristic of the flute is the raised goblet, which appears slightly turned out at the upper edge. In addition, the long style is an important characteristic. Also in the flute the carbonic acid evaporates slowly and there are numerous moussier points.
