WE BLOODY LOVE WINE
Ever since Tony Laithwaite went to Bordeaux in the 60s, family and friendship has been central to our journey. We owe everything to the many family growers and wine lovers we support and serve today.
For over 50 years we’ve been delivering wine the right way – from people who love making it to people who love drinking it. We never overcomplicate things. By keeping it simple at every stage, we’ve been able to keep costs down and guarantee authenticity with every single bottle.
THE SECRET TO FINDING A GREAT WINE?
We call it a van.
We’re a little less rock ‘n’ roll than one man in a van these days, but we still go direct to the producers and still know every single one of them personally. We still love sharing our favourite wines with our nearest and dearest. And no matter how big this family gets, that’s how it’s going to stay.
RED WINE
Fancy a nice glass of red wine? Then look no further! Whether you want fresh and juicy, smooth and rich, big and powerful, or famously elegant from the world's fine wine hotspots, you're sure to find something to suit your taste and budget from our award-winning cellars.
WHITE WINE
Fancy a nice glass of white? Then look no further! Whether you want crisp and refreshing, fresh and fruity, rich and golden, oaked or unoaked, you're sure to find something to suit your taste and budget from our award-winning cellars.
ROSÉ WINE
You can't beat a nice splash of rosé in your glass. Drink pink has become something of a mantra for UK wine lovers, with sales soaring over recent years - and not just in summer. From the prettiest pinks of Provence to richer, brighter fruitier ones from Argentina, Chile and beyond, you're sure to find something to suit your taste and budget from our award-winning cellars.
SPARKLING WINE
Sparkling Wine comes in so many styles these days. From great value Champagne rivals to super smart bubbles that can beat Champagne on quality as well as price (just check out English fizz for proof!). Whether you want to pop soft, fruity Italian Prosecco, Spanish Cava or France's mouthwatering Cremant de Loire, you're sure to find something to suit your taste and budget from our award-winning cellars.
WELCOME TO THE LAITHWAITES SPIRITS VAULT
Turns out, many of our wine lovers also enjoy fine spirits! So we've rounded up our entire range of spirits (plus some BRAND NEW finds) and put them all in one easy-to-access location.
Here you'll find a delicious selection of 60 different spirits from top boutique producers ... plus many more to come on board shortly.
BEER
This is our one-stop-shop for all beer lovers. Craft beer is going through something of a revolution recently, and we’ve bagged some of the best out there. From light and easy-drinking to rich, complex and interesting … there’s something here for every taste.
WE BUY WINE FROM PEOPLE WHO LOVE MAKING IT
We still prefer to go direct to the smaller, family-run wineries for this reason. Because winemaking is more than just a profession for these guys, it’s a way of life and source of pride. And it shows in the quality of their wine. This is the stuff we’re nuts about and we’re sure you’ll love it just as much.
