Antique, Victorian, champagne flute c.1870

The development ofchampagneis usually attributed toDom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk (1638-1715), whose name, today, is familiar to everyone who enjoys a glass or two. What most people dont know, however, is that he actually spent most of his time trying to correct the error that caused the bubbles. It was regarded as a serious fault and threatened to bring shame on the area ofChampagne, which, until now, had been known for producing still wines of the highest quality

It was, in fact, the British who took a fancy to the fizziness and Christopher Merrett, a scientist from Winchcombe in Gloucestershire, was the first to document the deliberate introduction of sugar for the production of sparkling wine. This caused a second fermentation, which was exactly what DomPérignon was trying to avoid. Most bottles were not strong enough, however, to contain the high pressure involved and had the annoying habit of exploding. Fortunately, the coal-powered, glass factories of Newcastle-upon-Tyne were capable of producing much stronger bottles than were available in France, and the problem was solved

The first purpose-madechampagneglasses, classic flutes, began to appear in the second half of the 18th Century. It had become fashionable, by then, for the drink to be served chilled and the glasses were designed to be held by the stem thereby preventing body heat from increasing its temperature
