Things to Consider When Buying Crystal Champagne Flutes

The champagne flute is a type of stemware and glassware that is specifically designed for sparkling wine. It typically has a long and narrow bowl and a long stem, which must be equal in length. The stem is supported by a rounded base, and it is long for a reason—it prevents you from holding the flute part or the glass. Champagne is a temperature-sensitive sparkling wine, and it is best served chilled. Your body temperature can make the champagne warm and produce fewer bubbles. Hence, champagne flutes are designed in such a way that you would hold it by the stem and not the bowl. This way, champagne can stay cooler and bubbly much longer.

It is essential to examine the features and the quality of the champagne flute before you buy one. You need to make sure that you are purchasing a well manufactured crystal champagne flute that is not completely smooth inside. A smooth and completely flat interior will reduce the number of bubbles in the champagne, but too much rippling will cause bubbles to burst quickly, which no one will like. Check the quality of the narrow bowl on top of the flute. It must be narrow enough to keep the bubbles inside. Think about the champagne that you want to serve. Dom Pérignon fares better in a champagne flute that can preserve the bubbles and keep them longer.

Crystal champagne flutes can either have lead or be completely lead-free crystal. Some manufacturers create beautiful and high-quality lead-free crystal champagne flutes that may cost a bit more than the standard options but are excellent investments in the long run (especially if you are an avid champagne drinker). These champagne flutes are perfect gifts for special occasions, too, like weddings and anniversaries.

Consider lead crystal champagne flutes if you want the glasses to be personalised with an engraving. This way, you can ensure durability when the bowl is engraved with your special message or the names of your recipients. Buy engraved crystal champagne flutes from a known supplier and retailer of personalised glass gifts, so you can be sure that your present is packaged individually or as a pair in a gift box. Some engraved gifts specialists can provide personalised champagne with the champagne flute, too. A personalised lead crystal champagne flute with a bottle of high-quality champagne is a perfect gift set for someone special who has a reason to celebrate.
