Out with the auld and in with the new this New Year’s. From the beautifully modern 2Modern blog come these beautifully modern bubbly glasses. Break out the Veuve Clicquot and ring in a gorgeous 2013! (Responsibly, of course.) Or if you aren’t driving or are staying home, be irresponsible and swing from the chandeliers in your knickers.
(And if you have ever wondered what that song is about, Auld Lang Syne is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. The song’s Scots title may be translated into English literally as “old long since”, or more idiomatically, “long long ago”, “days gone by” or “old times”. Consequently “For auld lang syne”, as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as “for the sake of old times”. From Wikipedia, so you know it’s true.)
Nothing quite says Happy New Year like a sparkling libation with streams of tiny bubbles lifting from the bottom of the glass to the surface, like streamers in the opposite directions, screaming come celebrate! Whether it is for the New Years, the old year or your year, the best way to drink it is from a pretty glass. Some prefer stemware some prefer stemless glasses. Tulip, flute or coupe? My requirement is that it is as elegant as the bubbles it contains. The season for celebrations is right around the corner so here are a few modern versions of the all important champagne glass for your holiday festivities.
