Classics is the
largest independent
retailer of Waterford
Crystal in the
U.S.For
centuries the Irish have
been supreme artists in

great traditions in the
realm of art, a tradition
founded on patient and
meticulous hand
craftsmanship. But the
skill of Irish hands is
only part of the story -
there is also an uncanny
power in those hands to
impart something magical to
glass. And in all of
Ireland, no hands have been
more patient, more
meticulous, or more blessed
with the elusive powers of
art than the hands of
Waterford Crystal's
craftsmen. More

- Nuance
- The subtle taste nuance of a fine red wine only comes out when the wine is thoroughly oxidized. This is easily and elegantly taken care of by the Wine Finer. In just 30 seconds you can decant a whole bottle of red wine while pouring it into the glasses. The elegant pourer filters out all sediments, pieces of cork and tartar, while a rushing sound of bubbles gives evidence of the efficient oxidizing process.

- Orrefors
- Crystal
Classics is Orrefors
retailer of the
year! The
road to Orrefors winds
through deep forests of
spruce that open suddenly
on darkly glistening lakes,
and meadows and farmhouses
set behind stonewalls. Here
are the elements that gave
rise to glassblowing, and
which are reflected today
in the finished glass; the
ripples across the water,
the sunbeams that penetrate
the tall, dense stands of
spruce, and the
crystal-clear air. It is
hardly surprising that the
glass created here is
beloved all over the world. More

of the world's greatest

interested in wine is led
by color, bouquet and
taste, but often the glass
is not considered as an
instrument to convey the
message of the wine. More

retailer of the year!
Pioneers
were always way ahead of
their time. In their minds
they conceived the
inconceivable. In their
fantasies they created the
impossible. When he
invented an automatic
cutting machine at the end
of the 19th Century, Daniel
Swarovski opened the door

the most ancient cultures
ascribed beneficial,

properties.
