Next to Baccarat and Waterford, the Swarovski Company has a true European pedigree and therefore a pretty price tag. Still, the Swarovski Company of Austria has made its mark in the wine glass world and the stemware is now easier to obtain because of the Internet which made it more popular and that forced more higher end department stores to start carrying it again. The glasses have the old world ornate look, though and so, like its Irish cousins at Waterford, it doesn’t have the simple New World elegance that Riedel or Tiffany have.
