Bulk Champagne Glasses

Buying bulk champagne glasses helps you save money and you can use these glasses for many different cocktails, not just straight champagne. Whether you want to change things up at your establishment or just need the right glass for your special occasion, serving champagne and champagne cocktails at your special event adds a touch of elegance that will be appreciated by many.

Champagne glasses can be used for many different drinks.

Evolution of the Champagne Glass

Today's champagne is not anything like champagne of yesterday. Champagne that was served a hundred years ago had fewer bubbles, which is why the champagne glasses were shaped differently. When you try to serve todays bubbly in the glasses of yesteryear, you'll end up with champagne on the table or on an unsuspecting guest. The glasses of old were called coupes or saucers. Many believe that these first champagne glasses were either molded from Helen of Troy or Marie Antoinette's breast, giving them their unique shape.

As champagne evolved and became bubblier, the glasses also needed to evolve. The modern champagne flute was thus born. Today's champagne flute is made of smooth glass with a tall bowl design and a thin stem. The narrow opening of the flute limits the surface area and keeps those beautiful bubbles coming. Many champagne flutes have a small etched cross or circle at the bottom of the glass, which helps the bubbles effervesce to the top of the glass in a straight formation.

Champagne Cocktails

If you're afraid that you'll be stuck with dozens of glasses that will only be used on New Year's Eve or other special event, think again. It's easy to use Champagne glasses for other bubbly drinks, including champagne cocktails. The following are just a few of the many delicious drinks that can be served in your champagne glasses.

• Kir Royale – Add a half-ounce of Chambourd or crème de cassis to a glass of champagne and garnish with a twist of lemon.
• Mimosa – Five ounces of champagne with one ounce of orange or mandarin orange juice and garnish with a slice of fresh orange
