His point his valid. Champagne is a wine before anything else, so if you want to have all of the aromas and flavors of it, you need a glass more round,&#8217; one woman wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The tubular shape of a flute doesn&#8217;t let the aromas expand correctly and let the bubble escape to fast (same for a coupe).
