Champagne: glass or crystal?

why is it that wine-'experts' rather drink champagne from a crystal than from a plain glass (with the same shape)?

Is it because

- crystal shows the colour of the champagne better

- crystal gives more bubbles

- crystal gives a better 'ring' whit the toast

Maybe more than one of these criteria is true, but what would be the most important for the expert?

None of those. It's snobbery. The shape of the glass and its cleanliness are all that matters.

Who gives a bugger about the glass? I'm more interested in the contents :-)

Not quite the same out of a jamjar, though, is it?
