Champagne often marks a special occasion such as an anniversary, holiday or birthday, though for some it's just a way to relax and unwind after a long day. With the large number of champagne glasses and the different varieties, it can be difficult to pick the right one. Choose champagne glasses by weighing all the options carefully before making a decision.
Instructions
1. Choose champagne glasses made of plastic if you're planning on celebrating with a large group of friends, or if you're taking the glasses outside. Plastic champagne glasses are available from most party supply stores and are relatively inexpensive so you won't worry about breaking or losing one.
2. Find champagne glasses made of thin or lighter glass, which is often less expensive. These glasses work for daily occasions or regular events such as a romantic dinner for two or a private anniversary celebration. The glasses aren't as heavy or durable as the more expensive glasses, but they work just as well.
3. Pick champagne glasses from a well-known glass manufacturer to mark the truly special occasions. Lenox and Waterford are a few examples. These champagne glasses are significantly heavier and thicker than regular champagne glasses and often made from expensive crystal.
4. Buy champagne glasses that come as a set, but also have the option of buying an individual glass. This gives you the chance to buy as many glasses as you need, but also purchase replacement glasses if one gets lost or broken during a party.
5. Keep your budget in mind, especially since champagne glasses can reach fairly high prices. Opt for glasses that you can afford by looking at stores like Target and Wal-Mart, which now have a large selection.
