A wobbly table is the number one cause of champagne tower collapses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Create the Base Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrange your coupe glasses in a tight square or triangle formation. The most common sizes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>16-glass tower<\/strong> (4&#215;4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>25-glass tower<\/strong> (5&#215;5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>36-glass tower<\/strong> (6&#215;6)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure each glass touches the ones next to it for maximum stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Stack the Glasses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Place one glass centered on top of four glasses below it. Continue stacking upward, layer by layer, until you reach the top glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Chill the Sparkling Wine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold bubbly pours more smoothly and creates less foam, reducing the risk of overflow or spills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Pour from the Top<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slowly pour the bubbly into the top glass only. Let gravity do the work as the liquid cascades evenly into the lower levels. Raise a glass and cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Champagne Tower Safety Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a champagne tower isn\u2019t difficult, but safety matters\u2014especially at large events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never use cracked or chipped glasses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid overfilling the top glass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assign one person to pour (no crowding!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop pouring once the bottom layer is nearly full<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Wine Do You Need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule of thumb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 bottle fills 6\u20138 coupe glasses<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25-glass tower = ~4 bottles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>36-glass tower = ~6 bottles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always have an extra bottle on hand just in case (wink, wink).
