Zara Home wine glasses, cocktail glasses, champagne glasses and sparkling wine glasses form part of a wider glassware collection, designed to elevate both everyday dinners and celebratory occasions. Combined with tableware, these pieces help create a harmonious atmosphere in the kitchen while enhancing every table setting. The structure of each glass responds to the characteristics of the drink it holds, from aeration to bubble preservation. Carefully balanced proportions ensure that stemmed glasses introduce elegance while remaining practical for regular use.

What is the difference between cocktail glasses and wine glasses?

Wine glasses feature a rounded bowl that allows aromas to develop, while the stem prevents heat transfer from the hand. Cocktail glasses often adopt a more angular or open silhouette, designed to showcase mixed drinks with precision. Though both belong to the same family of stemmed glasses, their proportions reflect different serving rituals and the distinct balance between aroma, temperature and presentation.

Why are flute glasses used for champagne?

Flute glasses are tall and narrow, helping to maintain carbonation by limiting surface exposure. This structure supports a steady release of bubbles and preserves freshness. Champagne glasses and sparkling wine glasses designed in this format enhance both visual presentation and tasting experience. Zara Home flute glasses combine refined height with stability, ensuring sparkling drinks are served with control and elegance.

Are prosecco glasses different from champagne flutes?

Prosecco glasses may feature a slightly wider bowl than traditional flutes, allowing aromas to open while still preserving effervescence. Champagne glasses and sparkling wine glasses in flute form prioritise bubble retention and vertical structure. The choice depends on the character of the sparkling wine and the atmosphere you wish to create at the table, whether relaxed or more formal.

How many wine and champagne glasses do I need for a dinner party?

For a balanced setting, providing at least one wine glass per guest is advisable, with additional champagne glasses or sparkling wine glasses if sparkling wine is included. Depending on the menu, cocktail glasses may also be introduced. Having two to three stemmed glasses per person ensures fluid service throughout the evening. Coordinating these with understated table linens or serving trays from Zara Home reinforces structure and cohesion across the table.
