7 Coupe Glasses That Will Make You Feel Like Jay Gatsby
Whether for a champagne tower at a wedding, a toast to ring in the new year, or a lavish Gatsby-style party, a coupe glass is a lovely way to sip a drink. It was originally made by a monk in 17th century England. Not long after, the glass became a popular choice for wealthy French people as tales of King Louis XIV molding the coupe glass in the shape of his wife's breast spread. No matter how it gained popularity, the coupe glass today is a sign of elegance and grace. It's a fashionable way to imbibe. Here are our top favorites.

What are coupe glasses good for?
A coupe glass holds five to seven ounces, and is most often used for champagne. But that doesn't mean you can't put your drink of choice in the low, wide-mouthed glass. They work particularly well with cocktails served up, like the martini, French 75, and Manhattan. When served up, i.e. shaken or stirred with ice before strained and served chilled, the cocktail stays colder longer when you can hold the glass by the stem.
