Berlin, Moscow, Vienna, Paris, Jan 1 (EPA-EFE).- The coronavirus pandemic has forced traditional New Year's Eve celebrations to be cancelled as millions of people around the world said goodbye to 2020 from behind closed doors, away from large crowds.FOOTAGE OF NEW YEAR'S IN BERLIN,MOSCOW,VIENNA, PARIS.
As the global dumpster-fire known as 2020 shambles to an end, you may feel like toasting 2021 with a glass of champagne. But according to Business Insider, there's a better glass to use than the classic champagne flute. In a flute, the bubbles should rise from the bottom. The problem is, the bubbles will move so quickly that you'll miss the flavors and aroma. If you use the flatter, wider champagne coupe, the flavors and scent that arise with the bursting bubbles will just float away, too. Your best bet? Use a brandy glass! Its wide bottom will slow the rate of bubbles, but the narrow top will trap the aroma and flavors. Cheers!

COVID has put a wrench in New Year's Eve celebrations globally. According to CNN, the best view of fireworks in most major cities will be from your couch. Many of the global fireworks displays will be replaced with smaller televised or streamed events, as cities take precautions against the spreading the virus. This includes: London: Their iconic fireworks show over the River Thames is canceled. England is under tough stay-at-home restrictions. New York: The ball will drop in Times Square, but the event is closed to the public. Dubai: Will move forward with their NYE celebrations, with 11 places to watch fireworks. Out of towners must be Covid-19-negative to view them. Rio de Janeiro: Fireworks are canceled and they are restricting beach access. Sydney: Their huge fireworks show is cancelled. A smaller display will light up the Sydney Harbour Bridge at midnight.
