| Ravenscroft Crystal is the embodiment of old-world
European craftsmanship and a modern understanding
of how the composition and shape of a wine glass can
significantly enhance the tasting experience. Our
designs, developed out of the deepest respect for
great wine, are hand crafted in nearly 30 different
styles. Each style is the result of thousands of years
of glass making trial-and-error, and is individually
crafted to enhance both the bouquet and taste of the
wine or spirit for which it was made. Ravenscroft’s
delicate, light to the touch, and perfectly formed
stemware control the bouquet and deliver the essence
of the wines and spirits to the proper zones of the
palate.
"Pure, Clean Crystal" Over the
past four decades, the world of wine has experienced
a renaissance in the development of wine and spirits
glass design. Most recently, it was discovered that
lead in glasses and decanters presents an unacceptable
exposure to hazardous toxins. Long-term storage in
leaded decanters can result in lead leaching into
the contents. The most significant reason lead oxide
is added to glassware is to aid in the manufacturing
process. Despite increasingly stronger industry warnings,
several of the world’s top stemware manufacturers
continue to use lead in their stemware production.
Lead-free glassware is the future, and the future
has already begun with Ravenscroft, the world’s
leading manufacturer of pure, clean, lead-free crystal
for fine wine and spirits.
Experience the incredible luxury of Ravenscroft Crystal.
