Crystal Glass Gift Sets Or Ordinary Glass Sets – Which is Better?

Crystal glasses are an obvious choice for wine connoisseurs and high-end bars and restaurants. With the development of lead-free crystal, the demand for flawless crystal glasses has been rising. So if you are thinking of adding some extra touch of ‘class’ to your wine glass collection or buying a gift for your loved ones, Crystal Glass Gift Sets will be an ideal choice. 

Why prefer crystal glasses over simple glasses?

Thin but strong: Stemware made of glass has thick bowls and rims; the material must be thick to prevent it from breaking. Crystal is a much harder material and is therefore used to make thin, elegant, ultra-thin glasses. Nothing is more beautiful than taking a delicate crystal glass in your hand and feeling the thin rim kiss your lips as you sip your favourite drink. You will never have this feeling with a glass vessel.

Durable: Although crystal glasses are thinner than traditional stemware, crystal is a firmer material that lasts longer. However, they should be handled with care. If handled properly, they will hardly have any scratches.

A noble material: When you buy crystal glass gift sets for your home or as gifts for others, you are investing in a noble material. Crystal glass has refractive properties like a prism and breaks down the light that passes through it in the form of a rainbow. Crystal glasses are shinier and more transparent than ordinary glass; they have a sparkling character and incredible luminosity.

If you like to taste wine, for example, you know that the sense of sight plays a significant role in enjoying it. The colours of the wine come out better in a crystal glass, whether they are ruby red, garnet, pale, straw yellow or golden.

Dishwasher-safe: Gone are the days when glass outstripped crystal glasses because of its inert and non-porous properties that make it dishwasher-safe. Today, crystal glasses are just as dishwasher-safe as ordinary glass drinkware. You can enjoy clean drinkware and stemwares with no breakage or harm to your beautiful crystal glassware.
