In October, I mentioned adding two different champagne flutes to my holiday wish list. Then I went and added "buy new champagne flutes" to my 2013 to-do list. Then an awesome friend gave me a Crate & Barrel gift card for my birthday, so I'm thinking the latter will help fund the former.
Unfortunately, one of the sets of flutes I first posted about is no longer available (darn!), but there are plenty cute sets of flutes where those came from. I thought I'd toss a few sets your way, so you could tell me which is the most fabulous.
Top to bottom, left to right: Verve Flute; Paloma Flute; Cora Sparkling Wine Glass; Bellisima Flute.
Which would you buy with a gift card in your pocket?
I love those saucer-style ones (they're so pretty and vintagey and feel unique!) but they are SO IMPOSSIBLE to drink from without spilling. Equally tough to carry across a room or drink from while standing up. I have six in a similar style and they hardly ever get used.
My vote goes for the top two styles!

My vote goes to the Paloma Flute with the Bellisima Flute in second place but then I like things that are more traditional.

I like the two sets on the right, though I think bottom right is my fav...

I have both right hand styles thanks to gifts. The bottom right is my fave

I vote Verve - so pretty and not too delicate - which means less champagne wasted to splashes or spills. :)

Verve Flute is the best!

I recently got the Kirsi ones for my wedding and love them, but out of these four I'd go with the Paloma flutes.

I like the verve but they do look like they could spill easily. The paloma is my next fav. but they are all great.

I would go with the Verve flute. It's such a neat twist on the traditional flute design, plus it reduces the likelihood of spillage when you set it down. I'll come break them in with you.

Verve flute!

Love, love, love the Bellisima flutes!

I would probably buy the Cora sparkling wine flute but I think the Verve flute is the most fabulous! Personally, I am not a big fan of the saucer looking champagne glasses.

Paloma! I'm very tempted to get those for myself.

I like the top left!
Posted by: Jess | January 09, 2013 at 08:30 AM
All of them! Can I like all of them?
Well, if I have to choose I'd pick Cora, but only by the tiniest margin. Verve was a VERY close second.

I love the Cora and the Bellisima. I agree, however, that the Cora would be very spilly. Even though it's my very favorite of the bunch, I'd likely not choose it for that reason.

I like the Verve flute with the Paloma as a second
