Why isn’t all wine vegan?

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 […]

  • Jo Nash (right) and her assistant Olivia are two of our all-time Aussie winemakers. It wasn't always Jo's dream to get into winemaking. In fact she didn't really get into wine until she was living in the UK while working for a bank. With France just a couple of hours away, Jo began exploring different grapes and soon caught the bug! Now Jo and Olivia work together at @mcphersonwines making two of our favourite wines: The Full Fifteen and Jo's secret Shiraz Don't Tell Gary.
  • Looking to try new things this year? Try out some of 2020’s biggest wine trends.
  • Every so often our winemakers get in touch with an offer we just can't say no to ... and the latest has come from Alvaro van Zellar. Alvaro makes some of Portugal's most revered wines, as well as a Port which fetched £2,000 a bottle. So when he told us a sale of this satin-smooth, oak-aged red had been abandoned by buyers with cash flow issues our attention was piqued. He knows how much our customers love Portuguese reds and offered us his cases for just £6.99 a bottle ... that's a rescue deal too good to miss!

  • Rich, full-bodied reds with equally rich and warming food is just what this time of year calls for. We recommend something like an oak-aged Gran Reserva Rioja for melt-in-the-mouth meaty stews or a Super Tuscan to pair with tomato-based vegetable casseroles. Shop warming winter reds by clicking the link in our bio. - - - - - #winelife #winetasting #vinstagram #winefriends #instavino #wines #wineoftheday #winegeek #winealldayeveryday #wineglass #winebottle #photography #oenophile #winemaker #vintage #greatwine #winetime #winter #cosy #warmingfood #warmingwine #wineandfood #slowcooker #stew #casserole #supertuscan #riojagranreserva #rhonewine
  • There's no doubt about it, New Zealand makes some of the best Sauvignon Blancs we've ever tasted, and when we tried 2.4K last year we knew we'd found another winner. It's made just down the road from Marlborough, in coastal Nelson where the sun is almost always shining ... in fact Nelson's vineyards bask in 2,400 hours of grape-ripening sunshine every year - hence the name! Expect crisp citrus, ripe stone fruit and vibrant gooseberry, all for just £7.99 a bottle in our January sale! - - - - - #NewZealand #Nelson #sunshine #summerwine #sauvignonblanc #kiwiwine #newzealandwine #winelife #winetasting #vinstagram #winefriends #instavino #wines #wineoftheday #winegeek #winealldayeveryday #wineglass #winebottle #photography #oenophile #winemaker #vintage #greatwine #winetime #laithwaites #laithwaiteswine #wineclub #januarysale #january #newdecadesale
  • One thing we hear more and more from our customers is: "are any of your wines vegan?" Well yes, around 250 of them in fact. But there are lots of different ways to make wine and winemakers don't necessarily label their bottles 'vegan' even when they are. So we thought it was time to show you just how much of our range is vegan-friendly ... starting with these best-sellers you may already recognise. Click the link in our bio to see all our vegan wines. - - - - - #newwineresolution #januarysale #january #newdecadesale #winestagram #winegeek #winelifestyle #instavin #dinnerdrinks #cheers #wineallthetime #wineing #vinovino #vinho #winesale #newyear #2020 #veganuary #wineclub #laithwaites #laithwaiteswine #newyearresolution #winelover #wine #picoftheday #inspiration #ilovewine #winewinewine #wineclub #winelabel
  • It's as Germanic as it is French, which explains why Alsace is responsible for some interesting and delicious wines. Laithwaite's Wine buyer Sarah Everden chats to Greg Roberts about some of her favourites from the region.
  • Our New Year's resolution for 2020 is to make every glass count and that means choosing wines that are richer, more full of character and just absolutely delicious. It also usually means spending a few more pounds per bottle, but consider this a helping hand to kick start your pledge to drink better this year. From Opi Sadler's luxurious Waxed Bat Reserve to the extra-special small-batch edition of our No 1 New Zealand Sauvignon, you'll savour every sip.

  • If you've had a heavy Christmas and New Year you might have decided to cut back on alcohol this month. Fortunately that no longer means you're left with lemonade as your only option. We've got a delicious alcohol-free Riesling, gorgeous no-alcohol spirits from Seedlip Drinks and a 0% cider, as well as wines at half the usual strength. So whether you've cut out drink completely or you'd just like a lighter option, we've got plenty to choose from.

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.
