What is the correct glassware for sparkling wine?

Flute or tulip glass to preserve carbonation. Red wine glass. Water goblet. Champagne coupe.

Correct Answer:

Flute or tulip glass to preserve carbonation.

Explanation:

Sparkling wine stays lively when the glass limits how quickly the carbon dioxide escapes. A flute or a tulip glass does this well: the narrow, tall shape reduces the exposed surface area and helps the bubbles stay lively while keeping the drink cold. The tulip also narrows at the top to concentrate aromas without letting CO2 escape too quickly. Other shapes loosen carbonation more rapidly—a red wine glass has a wide bowl and large opening, a water goblet is too large, and a coupe has a broad, shallow bowl that lets bubbles dissipate fast—so they don’t preserve the sparkle as effectively.
