Whether you're at a wedding, engagement, New Year’s Eve celebration, or anniversary dinner, knowing how to hold a champagne flute isn’t just a matter of form—it's a gesture of class and confidence. The way you grip your glass can reflect both sophistication and etiquette. In this guide, we’ll walk you through not only how to hold a champagne flute properly but also why it matters, and how a beautifully engraved flute can turn any toast into a timeless memory.
What Is a Champagne Flute?
A champagne flute is a tall, narrow stemmed glass designed to preserve carbonation and highlight the elegant bubbles of sparkling wine. Its shape isn't just pretty—it enhances aroma and maintains the champagne’s fizziness longer than a traditional wine glass. Many modern champagne flutes also come custom-engraved to commemorate weddings, anniversaries, and even corporate milestones.
How to Hold a Champagne Flute the Right Way
Always hold a champagne flute by the stem, not the bowl. Here’s why:
-
Temperature Control: Your hand heats the champagne if you hold the bowl, dulling its crisp taste.
-
Elegance: Holding the stem offers a poised, graceful look during toasts.
-
Smudge-Free Glass: It keeps fingerprints off the bowl, so your photos (and impressions) sparkle.
-
Proper Etiquette: It’s a universal sign of refined manners—whether at a formal event or intimate gathering.
Bonus Tip: When making a toast, gently clink rim to rim, not too hard—flutes are delicate!
