CHAMPAGNE GLASS

   OED has 1851 for "champagne glass."  This below is "a glass filled with champagne."  I'm still looking for "champagne tulip glass" or "champagne flute glass."


   22 February 1844, BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, pg. 2:
   On this occasion the account of her death was read from the French newspapers, in the midst of lively exultation, and the clang of champagne glasses.
