Hollywood likes to show in the movies champagne bottles popping with a loud noise, the corks flying across the room and the fizzy drink showering all the party guests. Well, that’s not the way to do it, plus, it would be a shame to waste such a wonderful drink. The Roaring Twenties and The Great Gatsby’s champagne glasses were coupes. Legend has it that the saucer-shaped bowls were modelled on the breasts of Madame de Pompadour, the French King Louis XV’s mistress, now isn’t that just perfect for a decadently luxurious party? Better follow the proper champagne etiquette to fully enjoy one of the best antidepressants ever.
