Viski Champagne Glasses

Viski Champagne Glasses are stemware for serving sparkling wine. The listing doesn't state the style (flute or coupe), material, capacity or set size, so check the product specifications for those before you buy. Any glass sold for Champagne is meant to do the same job: keep a sparkling wine cold and lively in the glass and give you a stem to hold. Hold the glass by the stem. Your hand then stays off the bowl, which keeps the wine chilled for longer. Sparkling wine is usually served at about 6 to 8°C, or 8 to 10°C for fuller vintage or traditional-method bottlings. Chill the bottle for a few hours in the refrigerator, or for about 20 to 30 minutes in a bucket of ice and water. Sparkling wine doesn't need decanting, because that would only flatten the bubbles. Pour in two stages, letting the foam settle before you top up, and fill to about two-thirds so the aroma has room to gather. A narrower flute shows off the stream of bubbles and holds the carbonation longer. A wider bowl or coupe opens up the aroma but lets the fizz fade sooner. Styles like Champagne, cava, Prosecco and crémant are all at home in a glass like this. For food, sparkling wine's acidity and bubbles work well against salty, fried and creamy dishes. Try oysters, fried chicken, soft-ripened cheeses, smoked salmon, potato chips or buttery pastries. Off-dry sparkling wines pair better with fruit tarts and lightly sweet desserts. Glasses meant for sparkling wine are best washed by hand in warm water with minimal detergent, then dried with a lint-free cloth. Residue and lint on the inside of the glass break up the bubbles. Check the product page to see whether these are dishwasher-safe.
