THIS ESCALATED QUICKLY.

A street full of people.
Some completely ridiculous bottles.
Zero reason to go home.

Just where I belong. ;)

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: 
You Should Never Drink Champagne From a Flute! 🥂

Last time I said this, my post went viral - over 2 million views, lots of agreement, but also a lot of comments along the lines of “You’re not French, what do you know!”

So I went to Champagne to ask them.

At Sacré Bistro in Épernay, home to one of the best Champagne lists in the region, I asked Alizé Franquet, their Sommelier.

One of her comments said it all:
“In a flute, you miss 90% of the Champagne.” 

Here’s why it’s time to make the switch:

📜 Aesthetics Over Tasting: 
The flute was historically designed just to showcase a vertical line of rising bubbles - not to enhance the flavour, aroma, or texture of the wine.

👃 Trapped Aromatics: 
Narrow rims choke off the complex aromas, meaning you miss all those wonderful champagne aromas.

🍾 Remember, Champagne Is Wine: 
At Sacré Bistro, there are ZERO flutes in the restaurant. They stock eight different wine glass styles depending on the specific cuvée you order!

🥂 Try It Yourself!
Next time you open a bottle - whether it’s a cult grower Champagne or your favourite Grand Maison - try this simple test: pour half a glass into a flute, and half into a standard white wine glass or a wider bowl.
Taste both, and then decide for yourself - I think you’ll be amazed! Let me know in the coments!

Send it to someone who still swears by the flute and follow for more Champagne tips! 🍾
