Shape and purpose
A flute has a long stem and a tall, slender bowl, usually holding around 150 to 250 ml. The small surface area slows the loss of carbonation, and the height lets you watch the bubbles rise. The stem keeps your hand from warming the wine.
Which drinks belong here
Sparkling cocktails where the wine is topped last: Kir Royal, Bellini, Mimosa, French 75 and the Champagne Cocktail.
Tips
- Chill the flute before pouring.
- Add the other ingredients first, then pour the sparkling wine slowly down the side of the tilted glass.
- Fill to about two thirds so the aroma has space.
- Many wine professionals prefer a tulip or white wine glass for good Champagne, because a slightly wider bowl shows more aroma. For mixed drinks the flute remains a practical choice.
