Kill the Flutes!

[Jeff Grossman]

No self-respecting geek drinks fizz from a flute -- unless you're at Aunt Tid's house and she insists (and she's not serving Roses de Jeanne, anyway) -- but this article in Decanter indicates that more than one Champagne house is heading down the path of the European beer-makers: issuing their own glass.

Do we really need this? Is this just a nonsense excursion so Jones-keep-uppers have something new to whine about? Is there a Ridelian plot to make us spend yet more money on oh-so-spherical just-the-right-angle stemware?

Anyone up for a coupe de champagne?

sometimes i like flutes for basic fizz. i like watching the bubbles traveling up the glass searching for their release.
