Fill ‘er up: Champagne coupes

You could argue that, as one person living in a studio apartment so small that I cannot entertain more than two guests comfortably, I do not have a pressing need to own a set of champagne glasses.

I, however, can argue that, on most days, I do have a pressing need for champagne.

So that said, for the past few of years, I've been keeping an eye out for swanky champagne coupes. And, right, coupes don't hold champagne bubbles are well as flutes do and whatever. But what do I care? They look cool and I look cute holding them. Plus, who ever saw a giant fancy-sexy bathtub fashioned out of an old straight-up champagne flute?
