Flûte

French term for the slender, long-stemmed glass ("flute" in German) that particularly emphasises the qualities of a sparkling wine and supports the effervescence. The bubbles path to the surface is longer compared to the flat, bowl-shaped coupe. This, and above all the smaller surface area of the liquid, has the positive effect that the carbon dioxide and flavours evaporate much more slowly and the warming due to the ambient temperature is slower. The so-called mousse point serves to increase the rise of the bubbles in the glass.

Flûte also refers to the typical, long-necked mallet-shaped bottle for wines from the French Alsace region. See also under champagne glass, Champagne tower, bottles, wine vessels, wine enjoyment and wine glasses.
