The Champagne saucer is an relatively new addition to a set of "good" stemware. They became fashionable in the United States. Champagne should be served in a tall, slim Flute glass, which preserves the carbonation (bubbles).
My own choice when purchasing my stemware was to add the champagne saucer as I like to use it to serve small very fancy desserts, in which case it is placed on a small plate ( a bread plate is perfect) from your china set.
However, if you are adding a course to your meal which will have champagne served with it, the glasses are kept chilled and placed upon the table as the wine is served.
Yes, the raisin will sink into a glass of champagne, but not for long ... the bubbles from the champagne will inflate the dried raisin and it will float up to the surface.
The two most popular shapes for champagne glasses are flute and tulip. There is also the champagne cocktail glass which is wide ans shallow, more like a martini glass.
The number of ounces that a champagne glass holds is about 4 oz. when it completely full. However, most people will not fill it to the brim and this means it holds about 3 oz.
The traditional champagne glass was modeled after Marie Antoinette's breast.
There are 5 oz in a glass of champagne.
