Wine Accessories and Glasses

                                                  It has been discovered recently that lead in glass decanters and wine glasses have caused an unacceptable exposure to dangerous toxins. Long term storage has been known to leach lead into the stored contents, therefore, causing health hazards.

It has been considered that the historic association of gout within the upper classes of America and Europe, was, in part, caused by constant use of lead crystal decanters to store whiskey and fortified wines.

Ravenscroft crystal, which is hand blown in Europe, produces a line of stemware that is individually crafted and is absolutely lead free - it also boosts the bouquet of all wines. Ravenscrofts’ Amplified tasting collection is very similar to Reidel’s crystal Vinum Extreme collection, yet Ravenscroft  glasses and decanters are lead free.
