Crystal glasses don’t come cheap, but they equal durability and elegance. And when it comes to the shape, tall and narrow flutes ensure your bubbles last the distance, while tulip-shaped glasses with wider middles and tapered tops allow you to fully appreciate the aromas of your Champagne. Whether you choose glasses with cut-glass decorations or simply come unadorned is a matter of taste.

These are our favourite Champagnes for celebrating.
