  • Our vines at Windsor Great Park Vineyard have just come into leaf but with temperatures still dropping below freezing overnight they’re very vulnerable. To mitigate the low temperatures and to protect the budding vines from the frost a team of volunteers from around the company went out in the early hours of Saturday morning to light candles in the vineyard. Thanks to the team who sacrificed their weekend lie-ins to help protect our crop this year . . . #winelife #winelovers #wineenthusiast #wineeducation #winegoals #winesofinstagram #winebottle #winesnob #winealldaylong #EnglishSparklingWine #earlystart #earlybird #WindsorGreatPark

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.
