flute glass

Narrow sparkling vessel

A flute glass is a tall, narrow drinking glass with a long stem, designed primarily for sparkling wine and champagne.

The slender shape preserves carbonation by minimizing the surface area exposed to air, while showcasing the rising bubbles: She raised her flute glass in a toast.

Often shortened to simply "flute."
