Are Lead Crystal Goblets Safe to Use?.

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:59:15 -0600

In recent years the safety of lead has come into question. Once commonly used by those affluent enough to afford them, lead crystal goblets are not as popular as they once were. The FDA issued a warning back in the early 1990s regarding the use of lead crystal for storing or drinking beverages because it is possible lead can leach into the beverage being consumed. This is especially the case with alcoholic spirits like wine, liquor and beer. Children should never be served from lead crystal drinking vessels. Tags: lead crystal goblets, goblets, wine goblets

Red Goblets are Fashionable for Christmas.

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:59:15 -0600

For ages people have decorated their table with beautiful drinking vessels known as goblets. More than just beautiful, goblets are functional. Because they have a stem attached to a base, heat from the hands never has to reach the beverage inside, keeping it at optimum drinking temperature. The goblet bowl may be tall and thin like a champagne flute or short and wide like a Bordeaux glass. Wine glasses are often shaped a certain way for a certain wine. Water goblets are what most people imagine when they picture a goblet, with a larger bowl and shorter stem on a sturdy base. Whether you're drinking wine or water, red goblets make a festive addition to your table this holiday season. Tags: red goblets, goblets, wine goblets
