The Wine Bottle

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 beautiful red wine flutes are part of the ever popular ‘Cross Swirl’ range not available on the high street, and are delicate flute shaped glasses with a classic spiral design. The glasses will be won by one lucky visitor to the Forever Crystal blog, in the first of what are to become monthly competitions. They are a truly special prize as each glass is handmade and hand cut, meaning each glass is slightly different and unique.

If you’re someone who enjoys a nice glass of wine, you probably already know the difference that a good quality wine glass can make. Most people are aware that lead crystal wine glasses are more enjoyable to drink from than regular ones and that they improve the taste of a good wine. But not everyone knows that to make the most of your wine you should also make sure you’re using the right shape of glass for your chosen wine. Champagne, for example, is best drunk from tall thin flute shaped glasses which help it to stay fizzy. Red wines require a slightly larger bowl than whites, as they need more space to breathe, 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 clumsy in comparison. These pretty ‘Cross Swirl’ red wine flutes are the perfect compromise, designed for reds with a larger bowl but keeping a more delicate shape and design. 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 any easier! Correct answers will be entered into a prize draw and the lucky winner will be notified after the closing date on the 15th of May.
