1、 What is the difference between crystal wine glasses and glass wine glasses

1. Price

The price of crystal wine glasses is higher than that of regular glass wine glasses. The crystal content of a wine glass determines its price and quality. The price of machine made crystal cups is usually several hundred yuan per piece, while those made by hand blowing cost over a thousand yuan.

2. Clarity

Superior water view glasses typically have thinner walls and better transparency in appearance. Crystal glasses can reflect the color of wine more realistically and clearly

3. Cup wall hardness

Crystal wine glasses generally have a 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 results in birefringence, similar to exquisite handicrafts. Ordinary glass wine cups have no glossiness or refractive index

5. Sound

Gently tapping, the glass makes a "click, click" sound, while the crystal makes a crisp 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 fast in heat transfer

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. Take a crystal glass and an ordinary tall glass, pour the same wine into two separate cups, gently shake the cup leg with your right hand, and smell the fragrance. After comparison, the crystal glass has a more fragrant and clean aroma, while the aroma of the glass appears slightly mixed and disorderly

8. Weight

Two wine glasses of the same size, crystal products are heavier than glass

What is a crystal wine glass made of

Crystal wine glass, usually referring to a glass made of lead-free crystal glass that can be used for drinking

1. Firstly, crystal wine glasses are also a type of glass, with the main component being silicon dioxide, which introduces substances such as lead, barium, zinc, and iron. Due to its high transparency and refractive index, this type of glass has a smooth and crystal clear appearance, hence it is called crystal glass. If lead is introduced, it is lead crystal. Lead free crystals are those that introduce substances such as barium, zinc, and iron.

2. Production process and characteristics. The body of the crystal wine cup is made of high-grade crystal glass carefully processed and fired with superb craftsmanship. It adopts a high temperature firing process of 640C Celsius to reach the critical point of crystal glass melting, transparent, pure, and non-toxic. At the same time, annealing process is used to ensure that the cup body can withstand changes in temperature, prevent cracking, and tail free vacuum has characteristics such as high transparency, strong crystal sense, and wear resistance, making it crystal clear, elegant and elegant. At the same time, the double-layer glass structure has a certain degree of cold and heat preservation effect
