Or the glass of vino after a stressful day? Do you drink from crystal or plain old everyday glass? Crystal tinkles! Yes it plays you a tune to tell you of its quality and durability. Ordinary glass, is just that .. ordinary, no tinkle, no tune. Imagine seeing a beautifully laid out table, with crystal sparking in the sunlight and telling your guests &#8211; \u201cWhy, it\u2019s Waterford Crystal darlings, only the best for you!\u201d and as they gaze at your sparking, tinkling, array of drink wear, that screams \u201cI cost a fortune!\u201d &#8211; only you and I will know, that crystal is actually probably right now., cheaper than 6 tumblers from Habitat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s right! Crystal is cheap! Decanters, whisky glasses, port glasses, whatever you fancy, it\u2019s all in plentiful supply, at ridiculously cheap prices because again &#8211; right now? It\u2019s out of fashion! And that\u2019s such a shame because water tastes so much better drank from a crystal glass. Think of the planet! Buy vintage, buy crystal! I\u2019ve put a modern glass next to a crystal glass in my photo\u2019s &#8211; tell me you prefer the modern\u2026 I won\u2019t believe you &#x1f99a;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"1024\" src=https://spcdn.shortpixel.ai/spio/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_auto,s_webp:avif/thepeacockemporium.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/img_1316-828x1024.jpg class=\"wp-image-848\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever thought about the glasses you use for drinking your 8 daily recommended drinks of water?
