The Style Insider believes that champagne flutes should be a party unto themselves. Yes, they must be classically shaped — tall, with the small mouth that preserves the bubbles so they tickle your nose. But they must also be effervescent in their design. To that end, we’ve found a dozen pretty glasses worth ringing in 2009:

Murano, Italy is known for its exquisite blown glass work, and this set of Italian Champagne flutes signifies a special occasion. Confetti dots rain down on pink, gold, green, aqua, blue and purple flutes at Treasures Worldwide ($79 for six, top).

With modern lines outside and traditional flutes inside, Red Envelope’s Inside-Out Champagne glasses will be a conversation starter in themselves. We certainly can’t stop looking at them (4 oz, $50 for two, above left).

Gold and black balloons and party hats float to the top of these celebration Champagne flutes from Top Notch Gift; a champagne cocktail recipe is painted on the bottom (7.5 oz, $39 for two, above right).

Saks Fifth Avenue gets the idea. Their Jazz Champagne flutes look like a celebration, with swirls and stripes enhancing the delicate trumpet shape (6 oz, $95 for four, above).

The Mimosa flute doesn’t have the time or patience for fragile stems — it spends its capital by showcasing the bubbly within. The slender glass is made in Europe for Crate & Barrel (9 oz; $8 each, above left). We’re also lusting after their Verve flute, simply because we love the bubbles trapped in the large crystal stems (6 oz., $13 each, above right).

We’re sharing our midnight kiss with Woodeye Studios Eccentric Glassworks; the only problem is that we can’t decide between their bubbling cobalt blue Champagne flutes (8 oz., $60 for two, above left) or their festive spiral diamonds frosted Champagne flute (8 oz, $25 each, above right). They’re so pretty, we may need one of each.

A bouquet of handpainted hearts rise with the bubbles in Lozier Glass Studio’s signed crystal flute. You choose whether the hearts are painted in amethyst, burgundy, blue, green, gold or ivory (8.5 oz, $35 each, below left).

Made in Hungary in mouth-blown 24 percent lead crystal, the Fronia Champagne glass is a treasure even before you pour. At CrystAlaCarte (5.8 oz, $62 each, above center). We’re also crushing on their  Renata black Champagne flute; we see them being carried around by pretty people in tuxes and LBDs, and they look terrific (6.2 oz, $60 each, above right).

You’ve not seen anything quite right yet? Let us solve your problem and welcome your New Year in one fell swoop with this set of Dom Perignon with two crystal flutes. It leaves nothing to chance — not the bubbles, and not the giggles that follow. At SendLiquor.com ($290, above).
