It is clearer than any wine glass, plus crystal cut glasses can make it more dazzling since it reflects light. However, since crystal is actually made up of lead crystal, and it is what makes it shiny and extremely clear, it may also cause great risk and danger to those using it for drinking.

The amount of lead that leaks into the wine depends on how long the wine has been sitting inside the glass.
