The glass rule is not true of prosecco, however: Pinçon says the sparkling wine tends not to have the same aromas to enjoy (don’t worry though, it does have plenty of health benefits).

He also offers up some more tips on enjoying the perfect glass of champagne or sparkling wine, telling us temperature is key.

“You want it not too warm but not too chilled either, in order to get the best aroma and taste,” he explains. “It should be kept at 10-12 degrees for a non-vintage and 12-14 degrees for a vintage bottle to express the complexity of older champagnes as best as possible.”

If all this talk of champagne has whet your boozy appetite, Charles Heidsieck can be found at Fortnum & Mason, or check out our pick of the best bubbles under £30 here.
