Still further, specific glass shapes and a high-quality glass surface, through the use of pure raw materials, enhance the aromas and taste of beverages. Glass composition The degree to which a glass can offer all of these benefits depends to a great extent on the type of glass used and the characteristics of the ingredients. Standard Glass consist of sand, lime (an alkaline earth oxide), Sodium or Potassium oxides. Spiegelau Crystal glass has the same ingredients plus a certain percentage of metal oxide. These ingredients will be melted at approx. 1500°C and in later steps formed to the desired product. Spiegelau glasses are all made of lead-free Crystal glass.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR STRAHL® BEVERAGEWARE Strahl® is made from incredibly strong polycarbonate, which requires slightly different handling to standard glassware : Avoid stacking Strahl® products while carrying or storing (except the CapellaStack range, which is designed for stacking), as they may scratch if they rub together. Wash your Strahl® beverageware in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water to remove residues from juice, milk, stout etc. Washing in a steriliser can result in a build-up of residue.
