text: who designed the champange glass?   lot of controversy over that question.   glasses specifically for champagne. louis x1v was the first king to drink champagne. so his son louis xv is likely the designer of glasses specifically for champagne.  pictures of the assumed model for the bowl of the champagne glass, madame de pompadour, show that she was so flat chested. she just had enough to fill the "cup" of a flat champagne glass.
