I even have different types of glasses according to the right champagne.

Oh that this forum would give me oppurtunity to make this kind of French and snobby statement, cheers

Seriously, it depends on the age of people you're hanging around with.
In the 1950's, glasses were more FLAT like an ice bowl. They're called COUPE instead of glas in French and look like this:

I inherited those type of crystal glasses from my grandmother, so I still use them as well. Why not?

Then the fluts came into fashion and after this, the real champagne glasses you're referring to. These coupes are for Dom and more oenologist style:

I would recommend them as well for the quality of the crystal. And the brand of course.

So it depends. On the people and on the champagne. But watch out holding the glas in the right manner.

OK, sorry...
-> I'm out
