Of course, that's what I am doing for ages.

For everyday winers (which might occasionally include champagne) I
use the IKEA Svalka red wine glass:

In fact, I never really have understood the reason for flutes. After
all, champagne is a wine (and the best champagne is world class by
any standards) that deserves a glass where its bouquet can develop
decently - which is definitely not the case with flutes.

In fact I do not even have flutes anymore.

P.S.: Flutes are really good for spirits.
