I'm not sure this is the place to post, but it's the closest section for food/wine ...

I've always thought (and been taught) that champagne is drunk from champagne flutes.

Yet when I took the Dom tour at Moet & Chandon earlier this year, at the the end of the tour I was surprised when we were sat down for a tasting of the Dom 2000 and they were serving it in a white wine glass.

They then even shook the glass much like you would to let red wine breathe/aerate.

I asked them, "Oh, this is odd. Do you not drink this with the champagne glasses?" And they told me that they use the glasses they used to allow the champagne to breathe.

Confused.
