In the world of wine glasses, there are always some glasses that make people feel fascinating, the most erotic of which is the "Coupe" champagne glass, which is said to be based on the breast shape of Louis XV's mistress Madame de Pompadour, in addition to the fact that the prototype of the cup is not Madame de Pompadour, but Louis XVI's queen Marie Antoinette. But no matter what, the Coupe champagne glass always has a bit of a fragrant taste.
The "Coupe" champagne glass, which is completely different from the modern champagne glass, has a very fragrant legend.
The "Coupe" champagne glass has a completely different shape from a modern champagne glass, although it is still a goblet, but the overall shape is more like a modern ice cream cup used to hold ice cream balls and egg rolls. This champagne glass is characterized by its open, flat design that releases the champagne's bubbles in a short time, giving it a sweet flavor – yes, champagne from hundreds of years ago is not the kind of taste you're used to, but an alcoholic soft drink that emphasizes sweetness.
Flute-shaped cups for more aesthetic appreciation
However, over time, this cup-shaped cup began to be gradually phased out, and people began to focus on the flute, which also has some history. Compared with the open-mouthed Coupe champagne glass, the biggest advantage of the flute glass is that it provides a new way of champagne appreciation, allowing you to appreciate the rising bubbles while tasting the liquor, and can also better gather the aroma of the champagne itself - but the flute glass is not without its shortcomings, for modern champagne drinkers, the "belly" of the flute cup itself is not large enough to allow champagne to fully contact the air, if you are tasting those old champagnes of some years. Then in terms of aroma expression, it may be so bad.
A modern champagne glass that combines functionality and beauty
Today's champagne glass market, in addition to the traditional flute-shaped glass, the more mainstream is those champagne glass types with round stomachs and slightly closed mouths, they often have slender legs, thin and thin glass walls, carefully designed water angles, and even some will engrave patterns on the glass wall and cup feet or attach other decorations, so that the whole glass presents a mesmerizing beauty.
