How does the quality of Riedel's new lead-free crystal compare to its 24% lead crystal glass?
Riedel recently began the process of converting all of its glassware from lead to lead-free glass crystal, and eventually all of Riedel's glassware will be lead-free. We compared lead vs the lead-free (Sommelier Bordeaux Grand Cru glasses side by side, and found it difficult to distinguish between the glasses. It seemed like the lead-free glasses had thinner stems and rims, while the 24% lead glasses seemed slightly heaver in the hand. There was no discernable difference in the balance, clarity or construction of the glasses.

Great design!!
by Don
This thing is awesome. It pours so easy, and looks really cool. I would highly recommend this to everyone, but especially if you are older like me. It is so easy to pour, instead of having to turn it 90+ degrees, you only need about 30 degrees. Great for saving your wrists.
