Is shannon crystal safe for everyday use because of the lead?

No lead crystal is safe to drink/dispense from. All leaded crystal leaches lead into any beverage contained therein. Acidic beverages pull lead from crystal faster than other liquids. Even very small amounts of lead are unsafe for consumption and can cause brain damage.

Is it safe to put lead crystal in the fridge?

It is no less safe than putting any other glass object in the refrigerator. If you were to melt the object in a 1200 degree furnace, you might release some lead particles but not enough to effect damage. Lead is not dangerous to adults, we can process it through our liver; children, however are in danger with amounts up to .01grms.

Does lead leach into wine from lead crystal?

Acidic liquids, like wine, will absorb lead from leaded crystal. However, the process is so slow that you shouldn't worry about sipping a glass of wine over an hour or two or serving from a decanter that you filled with wine that very night. The real danger occurs when you store beverages in lead crystal decanters for long periods of time (I'm rather sure it takes at least days, but potentially longer, for lead levels to reach a dangerous amount). The simple rule of thumb is to add the beverage to the decanter on the day you plan to use it, and never leave any leftover liquid in the decanter for storage. Lead is bad for anyone, but kids are especially affected by it. All the recommendations I've read say to be extra safe and simply avoid letting kids drink anything from lead crystal.
