The Australian Wine Glass has been created

September 1, 2004 -- Hans Sander has designed a distinctly Australian wine glass with kangaroos and grapes in a contemporary setting.

The glass is handcut in 23% led crystal measuring 80 x 240 mm and holds 310 ml.

The famous ringing sound is a fail-safe test identifying true crystal. Heaviness is another factor. The lead content of crystal makes it heavier than ordinary glass and gives it more balance.

-"When designing the glass" – says Hans, -"I thought I should come up with something that would add to the enjoyment of drinking wine in Australia and, at the same time, make an attractive glass that would also be of interest to overseas visitors and, especially as a corporate gift. Also, in todays modern society I think one glass would be enough for either red or white, make it easier for everybody from home hosting to restaurants"

So, a contemporary crystal glass with classic body was created and is now on the Australian market.
