Why are crystal wine glasses better and more expensive than glass wine glasses?
1 Clarity
The clarity of crystal is higher than that of ordinary glass wine glasses. When tasting wine, crystal wine glasses can more accurately and clearly reflect the color of the wine.
2 Refractive properties
When the crystal cup is raised and rotated towards the light, you can see it refract colorful light, while ordinary glass wine glasses have no gloss and no refraction.
3 Hardness
Because crystal contains more minerals, crystal wine glasses are harder and more resistant to wear and tear than ordinary glass wine glasses.
4 Sounds
When you tap the wine glass lightly or flick it with your fingers, the crystal wine glass will make a crisp metallic sound, which is like a bell, while the sound made by ordinary glass wine glasses will be dull.
5 Weight
Due to the high mineral content in crystal, the density of crystal is higher than that of ordinary glass. Therefore, crystal wine glasses are heavier than glass wine glasses of the same size.
