My grandmother had a set of these rather shallow, wide glasses and I use them from time to time.

The slight loss of bubbles is worth the additional enjoyment from the aroma. That said, well-designed flutes have their place - the perfect bubbles for a romantic dinner.

I am having the same dilemea with this one that I would have with the new Riedel decanter: How do you keep the champagne sufficiently chilled while you drink once it is decantered? By placing the decanter in the fridge, you run the risk of shattering it very easily due to the glass becoming brittle.Niether of them fit easily into an ice bucket. Additionally any efferevescence is considerably reduced by the surface contact with the decanter. Please do not get me wrong I loved aged champagne, however the amount of effervesence present in an older bottle is minimal, so I wish to retain it as much as possible. As you can see I have yet to pluck up the courage to try this method in fear of loosing a good bottle.

Most of these tests are not blind to truly assess the overall impact. People dont realize how much of an impact knowing that your drinking a "decanted" wine has on your senses. I will start believing that "decanting" improves quality when it is done blind. Decanting is over rated. Most of these tests are not blind to truly assess the overall impact.
