They help take away the anxiety of holding traditional wine glasses. Stemless glasses are also often described as “modern glassware”. Due to all these reasons, they are widely used by airlines to quickly and safely serve wine onboard flights.

• Tulip Glasses: The tulip-shaped glasses are similar to the flute with a long stem but have a narrow top and wider bow. This shape traps the aromas of the sparkling wine inside and enhances flavor and taste. These glasses bring out the best of red, white, and sparkling wine.

Sparkling wines are the best for any occasion. They are not only crowd-pleasers when it’s time to pop the cork, but they taste just as good on their way down. Sparkling wines and glasses are the perfect gift to give when attending a marriage, birthday, or a close friend's housewarming party.
