Elegant & functional design
Glamorous, sophisticated and silky smooth to the touch, SW glasses are a pure feast for the senses.
An SW glass on any table or bar setting will provide an elegant and stunning presence. When used, the glass itself will shift into the background as its weight, or rather lack thereof, will make you feel as if you are swirling your wine in mid-air, and the taste-enhancing functionality will bring all your wine’s facets into focus.
Despite the fact that the glasses are light as a feather, they are made to be resilient enough for everyday use.

Do you like hand-washing all of your dishware? Neither do we. That’s why SW hand-blown glassware is completely lead- and plastic-free, so it won’t get cloudy if put in the dishwasher.
Artisan, hand blown craftsmanship
Only true masters of their trade have the skill to make SW Glasses, and they handcraft every one of them so that wine lovers like you can elegantly enjoy your favorite wines to their full potential.
It’s incredible to watch how a skilled craftsman, exposed to the smoldering heat of a furnace, can take a molten ball of glass, an iron blowing tube, and a wooden mold to create the bowl of our glasses, use tongs to draw out the stem in a straight line by hand, and then fire-weld the stem to the base. Afterwards, these masterpieces are slowly cooled to assure their distinct surface.
SW hand-blown, lead-free stemware can be made lighter, thinner, and more elastic than machine-made glasses.
High quality and durable
Only the highest quality mix of raw materials is used for the SW glasses, and in combination with the controlled, extensive cooling process, our glasses are much thinner and more elastic than machine-made ones. While it is still glass, it is less prone to breakage in many situations due to their elasticity, shape and design.

Exclusive, taste-enhancing, hand-made luxury stemware that is light as a feather yet durable a compelling price point – these are the virtues SW built there glasses on.
Due to the efforts that go into making a SW hand-blown glass, they will always cost more than their machine made counterparts. However, for someone who loves and understands wine, the benefits SW glasses bring to the table will easily outweigh the extra investment. Try them and you will experience the difference.
