Well, here it is New Year's Eve, and conversation turned to the champagne coupes of our youth, which had hollow stems. "The FDA made them illegal in the 1960s," sez I, vaguely recalling some business about the difficulty or impossibility of properly sanitizing them. "Urban myth," sez my wife. "Never happened." "Let's check Wikipedia!" I rejoin.

Alas, nothing here. So if someone can do the research and update the article, that would be really cool.Dmargulis (talk) 23:49, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Nucleation sites in champagne glasses

This article is directly contradictory. Gas from carbonated drinks is expelled in direct proportion to the surface area of contact between liquid and glass, NOT liquid and air. It can't be both at the same time as stated in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.56.68 (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Bond reference and novelties

I removed the James Bond film reference. Although properly cited, this reference is really about "champagne stemware in popular culture". While such a section might be developed in the future, it would be massive and extensive. Inserting a single claim at this juncture provides undue weight (reader assumes the Bond book has a major cultural impact which is not supported by citation). The claim and citation should be re-added, once a more comprehensive section is developed. I also removed the Teichroew claim in the "Innovations and novelties" section. The citation in question did not mention her, did not mention sales by MOMA, and did not discuss the unique shape of her glassware (although it was visually depicted). I also removed the "Coupe Stack" claims in the same section. The citation in question did not mention a ledge, and did not mention that it was for single-tower stacking. If appropriate citations can be found for the Teichroew and "Coupe Stack" claims, they should be re-added with the proper support. - Tim1965 (talk) 18:29, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

How is coupe pronounced?

How is coupe pronounced? Coupe like koop? Or coupé like koo-pay? TuckerResearch (talk) 00:29, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm guessing just coop. TuckerResearch (talk) 13:49, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Coupe simply means -- and is the same word as -- cup. Coupé means "cut" or "cut off". Therefore it's not this word. (But thanks for asking, rather than running around saying "coupé" just because it sounds more French.) Laodah 00:06, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
