5 reasons why Crystal is better than Glass - The Standard Drink Company

Glass, crystal, what’s the difference? From a distance, wine glasses made with either material look the same, but they are more different than you realise.  Both materials are similar in composition. They start as melted sand that becomes a firm, translucent material we call glass. Crystal is unique because it has a high proportion of minerals (traditionally lead) in it, which makes it stronger and clearer, amongst other advantages. Crystal wine glasses are the standard for quality restaurants and wine lovers alike, and with the development of lead-free crystal, the pristine crystal glassware is unmatched. Here are a few reasons why.  1. Crystal is stronger and thus thinner than glass. Glass stemware has thick bowls and rims; the material needs a certain thickness not to break. Crystal is a much harder material, so it's used to create thin, elegant, ultra-thin wine
