1、 What are the differences between crystal cups and glass cups
A crystal glass is a type of glass, which refers to a glass made of crystal glass and is usually used as a wine glass. However, there are also certain differences between a crystal glass and a glass: 1
The price of a crystal cup is higher than that of a regular glass, and the crystal content of the crystal cup determines its price and quality
2. Clarity
Crystal glasses usually have thinner walls and better transparency in appearance, which can accurately and clearly reflect the color of the wine,
3. Cup wall accuracy
Crystal cups generally have stronger hardness than regular glass and are more resistant to wear and tear
4. Refractivity
Crystals can absorb luster, so rotating the crystal cup towards the light causes the crystal to exhibit birefringence, resembling exquisite handicrafts, while ordinary glassware has no glossiness or refractive index
5. Sound
Gently tapping, the glass makes a "click, click" sound, while the crystal makes a light and brittle metallic sound, accompanied by metaphorical echoes
6. Tactile sensation
The cold feeling of crystal lasts for a long time, but holding the glass will feel warm and heat transfer quickly!
7. Aroma
The wine in the crystal glass has a fresh, clean, and rich aroma. The smell of wine in the glass cup became very stuffy, and the smell became less intense.
8. Weight
Two wine glasses of the same size, crystal products are heavier than glass
Which is better, a crystal cup or a glass cup
Crystal glasses and glass glasses each have their own advantages, but as a wine glass, of course, a crystal glass is better. The advantages of crystal cups over regular glass cups are:
1. Clearer
The crystal glass has good transparency, and the glass made of this material has a good refracting effect on light, making it look very pleasing to the eye during wine tasting.
2. Lighter and thinner
The hardness of the crystal cup is high, and the strength of the cup made is sufficient. The wall of the cup can be made very thin, and the entire cup is very lightweight. When tasting wine, both men and women can easily and elegantly lift the glass and drink freely.
3. More crisp and crisp
Drinking and clinking glasses is a common habit in wine tasting, and the sound of a crystal glass knocking is louder and clearer than a glass.
4. More fragrant
The wall of a crystal glass is composed of many small sections, making it easier to retain the aroma of wine in the glass
5. Faster sobering
The micro surface structure of crystals is not as smooth and flat as glass, which gives the wine more contact with air and accelerates the oxidation process of wine. It can accelerate sobering when consumed.
