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 stylish ‘Cross Swirl’ range, and are delicate flute shaped glasses with a classic spiral design. One lucky visitor to the Forever Crystal blog will win the glasses, 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 unique.
If like me you enjoy a nice glass of wine, you are probably already aware of 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 using the right shape glass for the wine you’re drinking is equally important. Champagne, for example, should be drunk from tall thin flute shaped glasses which help it to retain its sparkling qualities. Good red wines need a slightly larger bowl than whites to reach their full potential as they need more space to breathe, and whites are best kept 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 best of both worlds, designed with a larger bowl intended for reds but managing to keep 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 simpler! Correct answers will be entered into a prize draw and the lucky winner will be notified after the closing date on the 15/05/2009.
