Australian flag billowing in the wind

Why isn’t all wine vegan?

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Laithwaite's Wine
Reply
One of our top-selling reds The Waxed Bat is available in our vegan wines range

What do you mean wine isn’t vegan, isn’t it just grapes? Although that might be oversimplifying it just a bit, you’d be forgiven for not knowing that some wines are off limits if you’re living a vegan lifestyle. Which is […]

  • ... Pillastro Primitivo Are you a fan on Zinfandel? Well did you know that it goes by another name in Italy? Enter Primitivo ... Italy's dark and juicy grape. It comes highly recommended by Sam from our Alderley Edge shop. - - - - - #winesday #winedownwednesday #winewednesday #winestagram #winegeek #winelifestyle #instavin #dinnerdrinks #cheers #wineallthetime #wineing #vinovino #vinho #winelover #wine #picoftheday #inspiration #ilovewine #winewinewine #wineclub #winelabel #pillastroprimitivo #primitivo #zinfandel #redwine #winewisdom #wednesdaywisdom
  • We're delighted to announce that the team at our Theale HQ have chosen to support the @suerydercharity Duchess of Kent Hospice. This important cause is close to many of us after our colleague and friend Sara was cared for by staff at the hospice in her final days. We're ever-grateful for the support she and her family received and look forward to doing all we can to give back - - - - - #charitytuesday #loveyourhospice #duchessofkenthospice #sueryderhospice #suerydercharity #fundraising
  • "Simply the best wine I have ever purchased, and I've been a Laithwaite's customer for over 25 years." That's just one of the many five-star online reviews we've been getting for Hole in the Clouds, the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that's been flying out of our cellar since we introduced you to it at the end of last year. Vibrant, juicy and with plenty of citrusy zing, this wine tastes as good as it looks. We love the label, inspired by the tales told by New Zealand's native Māori tribes. Search Hole in the Clouds on our website to try it for yourself. - - - - - #NewZealand #Kiwi #NewZealandSauvignon #KiwiSauvignon #SauvignonBlanc #NewZealandWine #WhiteWine #winelife #winelovers #wineenthusiast #wineeducation #winegoals #winesofinstagram #winebottle #winesnob #winealldaylong #wines #winenight #beautiful #life #winelifestyle #wineplan #winesofinstagram #wineswirl #vinlife
  • This week we've been exploring the gorgeous region of Abruzzo in Italy (and tasting quite a few wines too!) We couldn't help but stop along the coast and take a picture of this stunning view with you - - - - - #Italy #Abruzzo #Italywine #AbruzzoCoast #ItalianWine #winelife #winetasting #vinstagram #winefriends #instavino #wines #wineoftheday #winegeek #winealldayeveryday #wineglass #winebottle #photography #oenophile #winemaker #vintage #greatwine #winetime
  • They’re two keen young winemakers making a small amount of terrific, concentrated wine, yet struggling to make a go of it in a market so dominated by Big Retail. Both are skilled, qualified experts (oenologists); Amélie’s day job is checking that every wine labelled Corbières meets the Appellation’s required quality levels, whilst Jean-Baptiste hires himself out to make wine for rich, grand estates in the region. But in the evenings they climb up to their terraces where the sound of cigalles – cicadas – deafens, to tend their pride and joy: the family’s few hectares of gnarly old vines planted by Great Grandad over a hundred years ago. Now they need your help to keep their tiny winery going - click the link in our bio to find out how you can save them - - - - - #wineoclock #winelover #winecellar #ilovewine #winepic #winenerd #vino #wein #winery #vino #winetasting #mailorderwine #photooftheday #winewithaview #winerewards #drinkwell #wineart #vineyardlife #winemaker #winemaking #france #frenchwine #corbieres #corbiereswine #rescuemission #montjustin #redwine #maccarb #carbonicmaceration

ABOUT LAITHWAITE'S

Laithwaite's began in 1969, when Tony Laithwaite took a job washing bottles in Bordeaux... and fell in love with real wine and the people who make it. When he borrowed a van to share these delicious wines with friends and neighbours at home, things went so well that boutique wineries were soon queuing to take part. Today we're the UK's No.1 home-delivery wine merchant, with over 1,500 wines to choose from... including red, white and rosé, plus Champagne and sparkling, beer and cider.
