The analysis of the material for the wine glass is as follows:

At the end of the 17th century, glass became the main material in the selection of wine glasses. As a result, people gradually broke away from the monotony of drinking solely based on taste, and began to pay attention to appreciating beauty from the perspective of visual appreciation

Wine. Subsequently, the emergence of crystal glass pushed people's appreciation of wine towards a more precise and elegant dimension. Currently, the main materials for wine glasses are glass and crystal. Although they are very similar in appearance, there may be slight differences in the aroma and taste brought by crystal wine glasses and glass wine glasses, which is caused by the different coarseness and precision on the surface of the two. It can be observed through the microscope that compared with the smooth surface of glass, the crystal surface has more concave and convex surfaces, which are conducive to breaking the wine molecules and releasing aroma when the glass shakes: when it is used to hold champagne, the bubbles will behave better, and the concave and convex surfaces on the glass wall can retain the foam of the wine body for a long time, which is the soul of champagne. In addition, crystal materials have strong toughness and high wear resistance: the refractive points of light are also exceptionally rich, making the wine glass look particularly beautiful under natural light irradiation; And its colorless and completely transparent nature can better enhance the beauty of the wine and restore its true color (glass usually has a gray green color). Based on the above factors, crystal glasses will become the preferred choice for those who love alcohol

According to internationally accepted standards, the content of lead oxide in crystal glass must reach 24%, so that the crystal cup produced can be considered a top-quality product that meets the standards. Wash the crystal cup with clean water during maintenance. It should be noted that when cleaning a wine glass, it is important to hold the body of the glass to avoid holding the stem. Otherwise, with a gentle turn, the valuable crystal glass will only end in pieces. If necessary, detergent can be added. Here, wine professionals remind everyone to ensure that the washing process is clean because residual detergent can also easily form the phenomenon of "hanging cups". Finally, after wiping the cup, it is best not to put it back in the box, otherwise the cup will absorb the taste and affect the taste of the wine.

In addition, during the process of using a crystal cup to touch the glass, the cup belly should be used to touch it, not the cup mouth, because the cup mouth is the most vulnerable part of the crystal cup, and touching it can easily cause the glass to break. In response to the popular claim that XX brand red wine glasses have super strong performance and are not easily broken on the market, grape wine professionals remind consumers that all glass or crystal products are fragile items. When choosing wine glasses, it is important to identify the brand and avoid unnecessary losses caused by blind selection. Good reputation wine glass brands include Riedel, Schott, Spiegelau, ARC, etc. Consumers can choose the corresponding red wine glass according to their economic capacity.
