Online crystal glassware store Forever Crystal are giving away a pair of beautiful classic 24% lead crystal wine glasses on their blog, completely free! The stunning red wine flutes are part of the ever popular ‘Cross Swirl’ range, and are delicate flute shaped glasses with a classic spiral design. The glasses will be won by one lucky reader of the Forever Crystal blog, in the first of a new monthly competition. They are a truly special prize as each glass is handmade and hand cut, so that each glass is slightly different and unique.
If like me you enjoy a nice glass of wine, you are probably already aware of how much of a difference a good quality wine glass can make. Most people know that drinking from a lead crystal wine glass is more enjoyable than using regular ones and that they improve the taste and aroma of the wine. But not everyone knows that to get the most pleasure out of your wine using the right shape glass for the wine you’re drinking is equally important. Champagne, for example, is best drunk from tall thin flute shaped glasses which help it to retain its sparkling qualities. Red wines require a slightly larger bowl than whites, as they need more breathing space, and it’s easier to keep whites cool in a smaller glass.
Small, tulip-shaped white wine glasses are the most commonly used, as red wine glasses can often be chunkier and look a bit clumsy in comparison. These pretty ‘Cross Swirl’ red wine flutes are the best of both worlds, designed for reds with a larger bowl but keeping a more delicate shape than most. To be in with a chance of winning the free glassware, simply visit the Forever Crystal blog and enter your answer to the question, ‘What is the minimum Lead Crystal content required in Crystal Glassware?’ along with your name and contact email address. It really couldn’t be simpler! All correct answers will be entered into a prize draw and the lucky winner will be notified after the closing date on May 15th.
