Champagne glass

[5] In modern times those made at Murano near Venice, being of fine craftsmanship, greatly grew in popularity during the 16th century and were subsequently exported and mimicked in England and the Netherlands.

[4][14][15][16] Originally called a tazza (cup), it first appeared circa 1663, when it was created by Venetian glassmakers employed at a Greenwich glass factory owned by the Duke of Buckingham.

[5] The tazza was designed to hold champagne, and after it was retitled 'champagne coupe' and marketed by early Victorian commerce, it became popular within the English high society.

[20] Some oenophiles (wine lovers) prefer the tulip glass, as it permits the drinker to get more of the aroma than a traditional flute while the mouth is still narrow enough to avoid quick loss of carbonation.

[22] The glassmaker Riedel particularly criticizes flutes as one-dimensional, impairing drinkers' ability to appreciate a wine's full range of aromas and taste profiles.
