The flute is the most famous glass for most champagne cocktails and sparkling wines. Its name comes from the shape of the glass, which resembles the shape of a flute. The classic flute glass has a volume of 150 ml. Above is a photo of a glass, which is typical for this type of glass.
The flute glass has an elongated stem that allows it to stay chilled for a long time, and the edges are specially made of thin glass. According to the rules, in order to appreciate the whole taste and bouquet of wine, the glass must be filled to 2/3.
Also, before serving, it is worth cooling both the glass and the drink itself. Sparkling wines should be poured at an angle and slowly. Champagne is poured in two doses, thereby allowing the foam to settle.
