I’d kind of consider this kind of champagne glass the cheap kind. The flutes are the pretentious kind. But anyway, you can cut out holes at the base for bottles, or you can use that space for names or a snowfill engraved message.

a champagne glass ice sculpture design for ya
This single block champagne glass ice sculpture design was published in a newsletter along with a martini glass design in 1998. (For now, until I get all my links confirmed, check out that design with Search )
Obviously, with this sculpture, you have to be sure not to cut the stem of the glass down too much, or after a while, it won’t look like a champagne glass. The dotted lines in the sculpture (not the template grid) indicate cuts down into the ice. The sculpture should be cut so that the base of the sculpture (just below the glass) extends out toward the front. Then two holes can be cut into the base to hold bottles of champagne. You can use a special bit that attaches to a drill to cut these holes. The dotted lines in the glass itself indicates how the top can be hollowed out if desired.
I’ve given this design a bit of art deco styling, and a champagne glass ice sculpture fits in very well with the Roaring 20’s attitude that I associate with art deco!
Make cutting out the holes for bottles easier by using a specialty 4″ hole-cutting drill bit. I need to figure out a good current source for those though. Stay tuned!
