Glass breaks. That's why its glass. Even though scientists are currently working on future techniques to make blown glass stronger, we are still quite a ways off from seeing the perfect wine glass in production. It won't come cheap either. They are finding that slowing down the heating process and controlling this slow rate actually disturbs the molecular crystallization increasing glass's strength by 60%. Imagine, crystal that will be less crystalline. Slower production means a more expensive final product and less of a crystalline molecular makeup means a heavier glass.
So, we can rule out the feeling of a thin-walled, light stem from these future products in our hands. Today, larger manufacturers like Libbey and Cardinal have their own techniques and the high volume to churn out heavy more durable glassware, but they don't perform like high quality German crystal. That is why Stolzle is considered one of the world's best kept secrets in the wine industry.
