How can I brighten up these wine glasses?

I have a set of rather nice Casa Pupo engraved wine glasses which are sadly looking rather yellow with age. I've never put them in the dishwasher and wonder if there's anything I can do to restore the orginal sparkling crystal type appearance they originally had. They're too good to throw away.

    Steam with a kettle, then polish with a linen cloth.

    If that doesn't work try soaking them in a solution of Milton baby bottle fluid and water. Don't get the Milton on your clothes; it bleaches.

    If they are delicate glasses I believe a little white vinegar in some warm water and using a sponge is good at removing stains from glassware.
    If you will the end, you must will the means.

    How about getting creative with some glass paints and then they would be really unique and a talking point at dinner parties.Or you could personalise them and box them up as prezzies
