Elegance Collection

The Collection

Fine wine and quality spirits can only be fully and truly appreciated when experienced in the proper vessel. Waterford, the world's foremost authority on crystal stemware, barware and the art of celebration, has created an entirely new wine series featuring a comprehensive range of varietal specific stems.

The Waterford Elegance Series is a crowning achievement of craftsmanship and the pinnacle of elite fine wine and spirits enjoyment. Each crystal stem is uniquely contemporary in design and deportment, with a clear, delicate bowl, striking deep V plunge, crisp rim, pulled stem and flawlessly modern profile.

The Waterford Elegance Collection of varietal specific stemware and barware is a hallmark of elegant entertaining and good taste, transforming any event into a special occasion.

The Experience

For as long as there has been wine to taste, wine tasting has been regarded as both art and science. Appearance, bouquet, taste, mouth feel, balance and finish all contribute to the complexity, character and enjoyment of any vintage. Just as important to full appreciation are the attributes of the ideal glass. The sleek, sexy shape, precise weight and perfect balance found exclusively in Waterford crystal bring out notes and subtleties impossible to discern in inferior quality glass or plastic. The soft stem, gentle shape, curve of the bowl and deep V plunge add to the ultimate tasting experience.

Champagne & Sparkling Wines

As makers of the world’s finest crystal champagne flutes and coupes, Waterford is unequivocally the highest authority on the art of celebration. This wealth of entertaining expertise culminates in the Waterford Elegance Series for champagne and sparkling wines.

When the bubbly flows, the delicacy and narrow profile of the Classic Champagne Flute lends itself to special moments from grand toasts to tête-à-têtes. Round and racy, the Belle Champagne Coupe feels luxurious in the hand, with clarity of crystal that intensifies the effervescent attributes of the vintage. For a more modern style, the Trumpet Champagne Flute is a perfect choice.

The Waterford Elegance Collection captures the essence of festive entertaining with modern design, materials of the highest quality and impeccable Waterford prestige.

Red wines

The Waterford Elegance Series has a hand-made crystal stem to suit every red wine varietal. A crisp rim and oversize bowl captures dense notes and allows flavors room to breathe. Tangy tannins can be fully appreciated in the deep V plunge that concentrates the bouquet. Clear crystal allows for visual appreciation of a red’s many hues. The smooth stem and slightly oversized foot encourages a good swirl.
