Fun fact! Dom Perignon, Krug, and Moet Chandon champagnes recommend serving in glasses that more closely resemble wine glasses than flutes. Skinny flutes help maintain carbonation, but do little for the development and performance of the champagne. Just in case a voater comes across a champagne connoisseur :)
This is excellent information to know! Thanks for your input. I'm not afraid to admit that this is something even I didn't know! I do know, however, that once you pop a bottle of champagne, it should be served pretty much immediately, not allowed to sit.
Can you recommend a good supplier for any of this glassware or bar tending equipment? Also can you recommend number or glasses based on an estimated range of people you will be serving?
