Crystal wine glasses and glass wine glasses are three different

The types of wine glasses on the market are varied. How to choose is also a learning problem. In addition to looking at the shape of the wine glass, the material is also a part of our choice of wine glass. Wine glass materials can be easily divided into glass wine glass and crystal wine glass.
1. Ordinary glass wine glasses are thicker. In order to ensure firmness, the edge of the glass will be strengthened, but this will not improve the wine tasting experience. Glasses are usually cheaper. Because the main component of glass is silicon dioxide, the molecule of this substance is not easy to react with other substances. They are inert materials and glass is impermeable. Therefore, when washing with the dishwasher, it is not easy to leave the aromatic components in the detergent or be corroded by the detergent. Borosilicate glass wine glass is a kind of high-grade glass with durability, heat resistance and scratch resistance.

2. The crystal cup is thinner and has good thermal conductivity. The crystal wine glass is not made of crystal (quartz) but is made by adding 2% - 30% minerals into the glass. This mineral, usually lead, is used to strengthen glass materials, so that the finished wine glass can meet the conditions of light and durable.
3. Most crystal wine glasses cannot be cleaned by machines. More accurately, they are wine glasses containing lead or minerals. Because the glass wall is light and strong, the sound is very clear when the glass touches the glass. The lead crystal wine glass has excellent performance in refracting light and is more translucent and succent and clear when observing the wine. There is a crystal wine glass on the market that does not use lead but uses a certain proportion of magnesium and zinc. In addition to the advantages of lead crystal glass, this wine glass can also be washed with a dishwasher.
In terms of quality, lead and lead-free crystal wine glasses are high quality wine glasses. It should be noted that most crystal wine glasses contain lead, but drinking in this glass will not dissolve the lead in the glass. The reason is that the contact time between wine and wine glass is not long enough, unless the wine is stored in lead crystal glass or decanter for more than one week.
The mineral content in crystal wine glasses from different manufacturers may be different. For example, the United Kingdom requires the mineral content of crystal glass products to be 24% or higher, while the United States has more relaxed regulations, depending on the manufacturer's instructions.
Later, the choice of glass wine glass or crystal wine drinking glass depends on personal needs. If you don't like to clean the wine glass, you can use ordinary glass wine glass or lead-free crystal wine glass. When you often break things, you can use ordinary wine glasses. When you look at the quality of the glass, you will use the hand-made crystal wine glass. If you have children or pets in your home, it is better to use glass wine glasses with lower prices or glass glasses that are not easy to be overturned.
