Let's talk about South Africa 🇿🇦 Watching t Let's talk about South Africa 🇿🇦 Watching the news you will already know that winemakers there have had a dire 18 months. With a total alcohol ban in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, plus the fact that winemakers weren't even allowed to send any wine overseas in Summer 2020, the country has been hit harder than most. So we want to give them a chance to shine. From Philip and Jacques at Bon Courage who have made a special edition of our best-selling Gooseberry Bush and Johan and the team at Journey's End responsible for Bees Knees, to Colleen at Flagstone who oversees the vines that create Lobster Shack and the De Wet family who make The Comeback King. They've inspired us against the odds this year. They've gone without salaries so they can continue to pay their staff. They've opened up their unused wineries to be used at vaccination centres. They've opened on-site creches to educate their team's children without breaking their bubbles. And they've still managed to produce some truly excellent wines. They deserve our support, and the best way to do that is to buy from them. Click the link in our bio if you want to help.

Hands up if you're having a takeaway tonight ✋ Hands up if you're having a takeaway tonight ✋ We've gone spicy and have paired Pad Thai with our delicious Stones and Bones Sauvignon Blanc. It's from Portugal which isn't a country usually associated with the super refreshing style of Sauvignon we've come to know and love, but the grapes are grown right on the coast in Setubal, which is a great location to make these wines. Stones and Bones Sauvignon has slightly less racy acidity than a classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but it's incredibly green on the nose and in tasting, with lots of grass, green bell pepper and asparagus aromas. It's the perfect partner to any food with a bit of heat 🌶️ Hit the link in our bio if you fancy trying it.

Family is how we started and family is how we mean Family is how we started and family is how we mean to go on. Laithwaites was launched over 50 years ago with a little (okay a lot) of help from Tony's grandmother. If it wasn't for family we wouldn't be here. That's why family is still at the heart of everything we do.

Stop what you're doing and get this Beaujolais in Stop what you're doing and get this Beaujolais in your basket 🍷 You might of seen our last post about the mesmerising vineyard views at Domaine Dominique Piron (if you haven't then definitely do because you are missing out). Well, this juicy, fruit filled Beaujolais Villages comes from those very vines. And it's only gone and got itself @jancisrobinson's wine of the week 👏 Jancis was surprised that this was her first Beaujolais ‘wine of the week’ for 19 months, and we couldn’t agree more with her choice! She quotes: “Ridiculously good value … lip-smackingly good … you simply cannot go wrong with a Piron BV!” Tap the link in bio to get a taste for yourself and make it your wine of the week too. Cheers!

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.
