It had been said that the first Champagne
glasses trace back to Greek Mythology. These first 'coupes' were footed
glasses which widened towards the rim, supposedly molded after the
breast of Helen of Troy.
Centuries later, Marie Antoinette-
the Queen of France- decided it was time to create a new glass and
molded them after her own breasts. The new shape was completely
different as she was...more well endowed...than Helen of Troy.
Today, the glasses we use are designed to enhance the smells and aromas of the wine and to help hold onto the bubbles.
