Champagne is synonymous with celebration, joy, and moments of grandeur. But beyond the sparkling effervescence of the drink itself, the way champagne is served can significantly enhance the experience. Known for their fine silverware and exquisite table settings, Christofle catalog of barware, tableware & silver treasures can transform an ordinary gathering into something truly extraordinary.
Chill the Champagne Properly
To serve champagne at its best, it should be chilled to the right temperature. Ideally, champagne should be served between 45°F (7°C) and 50°F (10°C). A chilled bottle helps maintain the bubbles and enhances the refreshing qualities of the wine.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT GLASSWARE
The glassware you choose for serving champagne is essential for preserving its delicate bubbles and enhancing its aroma, and Christofle offers an exquisite range of crystal flutes and glasses designed to do just that.
The long, narrow flutes, such as those in Marly or Iriana collections, are ideal for sparkling wines, as their shape helps retain the bubbles while allowing the aromas to rise, ensuring an optimal drinking experience.
Alternatively, for a more vintage or festive feel, you can opt for coupe glasses, also known as a wine glass, which have a broader bowl and a wider surface area that allows the champagne's aromas to develop fully.

Serve the Champagne with Care
When pouring champagne, it’s important to do it gently to preserve the bubbles. Hold the bottle by the base, and tilt it slowly, pouring the champagne at a slight angle into the glass. Always pour in one continuous motion to avoid too much foam.
Serving these with our trays is the perfect complement to serving champagne and can add a touch of sophistication to your presentation. Whether you choose a sleek, round tray or a rectangular one, the shiny, polished surface will reflect the champagne bubbles, adding a surprise emotion to the tasting experience.
Set the table with Christofle Elegance
The beauty of serving champagne goes beyond the glass. The way you set your table speaks volumes about the care and attention you put into the event. Christofle’s renowned silver accents are the perfect details for creating an elevated, luxurious atmosphere.
