Hospitality Connect carries 54 champagne glasses for restaurants, bars, hotels and function venues. The range includes champagne flutes, coupes and saucers, tulip shapes and unbreakable styles for outdoor and poolside service, with brands including Stolzle, RCR and Bormioli Rocco.
Glass shape changes how the wine presents. A flute is tall and narrow, so it holds the bead of bubbles and suits sparkling sold by the glass. A coupe or saucer is wide and shallow, which releases aroma quickly and reads well at a stand up function or in a glass tower. A tulip sits between the two and is the usual choice where sparkling is treated as a wine rather than a toast. For deck, poolside and outdoor service, an unbreakable style removes the breakage risk entirely.
