Spiegelau Highlights Champagne Glasses, Set of 12
A beautiful addition to your stemware collection, this set of 12 Spiegelau Highlights champagne flutes enhances both the bubbly and the celebration.

Their shape is classic yet comfortable, and their height is elegant without ostentation. Standing 9-1/4 inches high, they are 1-5/8 inches in diameter at the opening. Each one holds 7-1/2 ounces and is marked with a discreet Spiegelau logo at the base. Washing by hand is recommended. --Emily Bedard

Riedel Vinum Champagne/Prestige Cuvee Glasses, Set of 6

Riedel Vinum Champagne/Prestige Cuvee Glasses, Set of 6
Looking like an especially well-regulated art nouveau lava lamp, the Riedel Vinum Series Cuvee/Prestige glass was designed to add to your enjoyment of your favorite sparkling wines. The obvious and prime attraction to any bubbly is the bubbles. This glass is known as 416/48 to Riedel loyalists; at the interior bottom of its weighty, languidly curved bowl lies a small crystal pinhole. This etched "fizz mark" provides a rough surface on which the beads form, rising to the surface in a steady stream through the center of the liquid. It may sound scientifically dry, but it's just Riedel's way of putting the "fizz" in "physics." --Tony Mason

Waterford Crystal Celebration Joy Champagne Flutes, Set of 2
|
Waterford Crystal Celebration Joy Champagne Flutes, Set of 2
This pair of 10-1/2-inch crystal champagne flutes is one of four designs in Waterford's Celebration Collection. Waterford has been making renowned crystal pieces for more than 200 years, and the artisans draw upon centuries of tradition to find imagery for their designs. The Celebration Collection motifs of friendship, love, dreams, and joy are each separately represented on four matching sets of champagne flutes. This pair, the Second Edition, celebrates joy. Long sweeping cuts reminiscent of cat-tails in the wind or, perhaps, like fireworks represent the exuberance of joyful feelings; this repeating motif encircles the bell of the flute. Beneath them, just above the stem, a field of diamond cuts represents individuals gathered together to share their mutual joy. The flutes are sold as a pair to emphasize their role as tasting glasses; when clinked against another glass in a toast, the Celebration Friendship flutes ring with the pure tone that indicates the finest crystal. To preserve the clarity of crystal and to avoid scratches, do not wash in the dishwasher; harsh detergent and excessive heat could permanently etch surface of glass. Wash with a mild liquid soap in warm (not hot) water. Certain water may leave a lime or mineral deposit on the crystal; if that happens, vinegar on a soft, nonabrasive cloth will help remove the deposit. Rinse with warm water and polish with a lint-free cloth. Edges and rims are delicate; do not store upside down or place upside down on a draining board. When washing or drying, do not wipe bowl of flute while twisting stem in opposite direction. Crystal can focus sunlight into a concentrated beam that could potentially scorch rugs or furniture, so do not store or display in direct sunlight. The champagne flutes are 10-1/2 inches tall with stable 2-3/4-inch bases. --Garland Withers

Pfaltzgraff Winterberry Hand-Painted Celebration Champagne Flutes, Set of 2
Especially appropriate as a gift for someone celebrating an anniversary during the holiday season, these two Winterberry champagne flutes combine seasonal and personal joy. Each tall, trumpet-shaped flute features an unusual hollow stem, with the bubbly coming almost down to the ruby-red foot. This provides a sturdier grasp than most champagne flutes, and may work well for someone who has trouble balancing a thin stem with their fingertips. Festive and appealing, the flutes are hand-painted with delicate green holly sprays and red berries, coordinating nicely with Winterberry dinnerware, stemware, and serving ware. Too tall to fit in most dishwashers, the flutes are best washed by hand. Pfaltzgraff covers the flutes with a five-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Riedel Montreal Champagne Glasses, Set of 2

Riedel Montreal Champagne Glasses, Set of 2
In the 1950s Professor Claus Riedel discovered the shape of a wine glass affects the wine's bouquet and taste. He then began to produce glasses in his Austrian studio designed to enhance the flavors of different types of wine, with the bowls varying in size and shape. He emphasized clean, unadorned designs with form following function, and his creations have been placed in collection of museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York. According to noted wine-guru Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate magazine, "The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make." This set of two Montreal pattern wine glasses is designed for drinking champagne. Enjoy a special glass of Dom Perignon or other fine champagne to the best possible effect by drinking from these elegant lead crystal glasses featuring dramatically elongated stems and slightly tapered bowl bottoms for visual appeal. Each glass holds 7-1/2 ounces but Riedel recommends an ideal serving size of three ounces. Buy the whole line of Montreal stemware or mix-and-match with glasses other Riedel patterns. To wash, run under hot water--no detergent is needed. Riedel warrants their products to cover breakage and defects for 21 days after purchase. --Jeff Dalto
