Got that right. The old coupe glass (the one shaped like Marie Antoinette's left breast) is totally unsuitable for sparklers. There's too much surface area and the bubbles dissipate too quickly. According to Riedel, there are only two glasses suitable for sparklers, and both are flutes. They're shaped just a bit differently depending on whether the wine is an aged Champagne or not. Anything else just doesn't seem to do the sparkler justice.
