Lead-Free Crystal Glasses and Decanters
Crystal wine glasses and decanters are the perfect finishing touch for any wine cellar! When you pull a favorite bottling from your wine rack for your guests or even for yourself, you want an optimal drinking experience. This is exactly what you'll find with crystal from the Wine Rack Store.
It was recently discovered that lead in crystal presents an unacceptable exposure to hazardous toxins. Long-term storage in leaded decanters can result in lead leaching into the contents which can cause a breakdown in our hearts, lungs, reproductive systems, bones, and kidneys. Despite increasingly stronger industry warnings, and even state-sponsored legislation requiring lead-content of glassware and decanters to be clearly denoted on products (effective January 1, 2010), several of the world’s top stemware manufacturers continue to use lead in their production processes. Wine Rack Store products are specifically manufactured without the addition of lead to bring our customers pure, clean, crystal. Typically, other manufacturers add lead to aid in the manufacturing process as it softens glass making it easier to cut designs. To cut leaded crystal requires only one quick cut on a grinding wheel. The decanter is then dipped into an acid bath to quickly polish the cut. With our unleaded crystal, the first cut is much more difficult & time consuming as the glass has not been softened by lead. Secondly, lead-free crystal must go back on a wheel and be painstakingly hand polished to perfection rather than dipped into an acid bath to polish the cut. More time consuming, more labor intensive and expensive but certainly worth the extra efforts and costs. The Wine Rack Store and AmazingUniverse.com Inc are committed to the protection of the environment and making sure our products, whether they are wooden wine racks or crystal glasses and decanters, are safe. Protect your friends and family and use lead free crystal.
The design of the Wine Rack Store Vintners Choice Decanter is both elegant and intelligent in every aspect. The neck widens for easy wine decanting and pouring, the wide bottomed shape prevents spillage while allowing maximum aeration of tight red wines. The most popular Decanter, the Wine Rack Store Crystal Vintners Choice Decanter is hand-made in Europe of the finest lead-free crystal.
