When it comes to bubbly, James prefers flutes. Champagne flutes trap bubbles and funnel them to the top of the glass allowing revelers to appreciate a wine's fine aromas while also creating a pretty cascading effect throughout the glass. By contrast, saucers, which according to lore derived their shape from a mould of Marie Antoinette's breasts, disperse bubbles and thus lose much of the wine's fragrance.
