Champagne Towers: A Sparkling Celebration with Style
Ever seen a pyramid of champagne glasses overflowing with bubbly and thought, “Now that’s a party!”? That’s the magic of a Champagne Tower—a dazzling centrepiece that turns any celebration into something unforgettable.
Where Did It All Begin?
The Champagne Tower first made its mark in the 1930s, during the glamorous era of Hollywood and high society. It was all about luxury, celebration, and making a statement. Pouring champagne over a tower of glasses wasn’t just about serving drinks—it was about creating a moment.
Since then, it’s become a favourite at weddings, New Year’s Eve parties, and milestone events. It’s a symbol of joy, abundance, and a touch of theatrical flair.
What Does It Celebrate?
In short: big moments.
Whether you're celebrating love, success, or just the fact that everyone made it to the party on time, a Champagne Tower adds a sense of occasion. It’s not just about the drink—it’s about the experience.
How to Pour It Like a Pro
Want to build one without turning your table into a swimming pool? Here’s how to do it right:
Choose the right glasses: Coupe glasses are ideal. They stack well and let the champagne flow smoothly from one to the next.
Find a flat, sturdy surface: No wobbly tables or uneven floors. Stability is key.
Stack in a pyramid shape: Start with one glass at the top, then build layers beneath—4, 9, 16, and so on. Each layer should be evenly spaced.
Chill your champagne: Cold champagne pours better and foams less. Warm bubbly can get messy.
The pour: Slowly pour into the top glass. Let gravity do the work. As it overflows, it will cascade into the glasses below.
Enjoy the spectacle: It’s a visual treat, so take your time and let your guests soak it in (figuratively, hopefully not literally).
A Little Local Twist?
If you're hosting in Australia, why not swap the French champagne for a top-notch Aussie sparkling wine? There are some brilliant local options that bring just as much sparkle—and a bit of national pride.
At the End
A Champagne Tower isn’t just a party trick—it’s a celebration of life’s best moments. So whether you’re planning a wedding, a big birthday, or just want to impress your guests, give it a go. Pour with care, stack with confidence, and let the bubbles do the rest.
