Champagne is served in a flute (tall and narrow stemmed glass) so the bubbles can be preserved. Brandy, on the other hand, should be served in a snifter (wider bowl with short stem) so the drinker can warm it with their palm while enjoying its scent.

On the good news side, the lead in lead crystal will not harm you when you drink from it. The lead combines with the glass material in a way that renders it harmless. However, if you leave red wine in lead crystal overnight, the wine will stain the glass and require extra effort to clean.

Most glass labware is made from borosilicate glass. Do you know why? Because borosilicate has low thermal expansion properties. This means that when you heat up this glass, it won’t expand and shatter like regular glass.
