Welcome to Laithwaites

Wine Merchant of the YearThe world’s No.1 home delivery wine merchant and Decanter magazine’s Independent Wine Merchant of the Year!

You have landed in our virtual world of vineyards and cellars, and you are very welcome indeed. It's now up to us - through the quality of our wines and dedication to the best possible customer service - to ensure you never want to leave.

We deliver what we term ‘real’ wines - wines that come direct from the vineyard from top-quality, small production winemakers in every corner of the world - to over 700,000 customers. By approaching the winemaker direct, and avoiding the middlemen, we can bring you great quality at the keenest possible prices.
