Crystal wine glass and glass wine glass are three different

[China Glass Network] The types of wine glasses on the market can be described as varied. How to choose is also a matter of learning. In addition to looking at the shape of the Wine Glass, the material is also a part of our selection of wine glasses. The wine glass material can be easily divided into glass wine glasses and crystal wine glasses.

1. The ordinary glass wine glass is thicker, and to ensure the firmness, the edge of the cup will be reinforced, but this will not improve the wine tasting experience. Glass wine glasses are usually cheaper. Since the main component of glass is silica, the molecules of this substance are not easily chemically reacted with other substances. They are inert materials and the glass is not gas permeable. Therefore, when washing with a cup washer, it is not easy to leave the aromatic components in the detergent or Corroded by detergent. The borosilicate glass wine glass is a high-grade glass with durability, heat resistance and scratch resistance.

2, the crystal cup is lighter and thinner, and has good thermal conductivity. Crystal wine glasses are not made of crystal (quartz), but are made by adding 2%-30% minerals to the glass. This mineral is usually lead, which is used to strengthen the glass material, so that the finished wine glass can meet both light and durable conditions.

3, most crystal wine glasses can not be machine-washed, more accurately, lead or mineral-containing wine glasses, because the cup wall is light and strong, when the cup is clinking, the sound is very crisp. The lead-containing crystal wine glass has excellent performance in refracting light, and it is more translucent and clear when observing the wine. There is a crystal wine glass on the market that does not use lead, but instead uses a certain proportion of magnesium and zinc. In addition to the advantages of a lead-containing crystal cup, this wine glass can also be cleaned with a cup washer.

In terms of quality, both lead-containing and lead-free crystal wine glasses are premium wine glasses. It should be noted that most crystal wine glasses are lead-containing, but drinking in this wine glass does not dissolve the lead in the glass. The reason is that the contact time between the wine and the wine glass is not long enough, unless the wine is stored in a lead crystal wine glass or a decanter for more than a week.

Mineral content in crystal wine glasses from different manufacturers may vary. For example, the UK requires a mineral content of 24% or more in crystal glass products, while the US regulations are more lenient, depending on the manufacturer's instructions.

Later, whether to choose a glass wine glass or a crystal wine glass depends on personal needs. If you don't like to clean the wine glass, you can use ordinary glass wine glasses or lead-free crystal wine glasses. When you break things often, you can use ordinary glass wine glasses. When you look at the quality of the glass, you will use a hand-made crystal wine glass. If you have children or pets at home, it is better to use a lower-priced glass wine glass, or a cup-free wine glass that is not easy to knock down.
