LOVE CRICKET, LOVE WINE
We’re proud to sponsor For the Love of Cricket, the brand-new podcast from England legends Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad. Get their fascinating takes on the game and watch them select their dream Laithwaites line up …
Jos Buttler is one of the absolute batting masters of limited overs, white ball cricket. Stuart Broad was one of the greatest ever test bowlers with red ball in hand. So, it only seems right that Jos has selected the whites and Stuart the reds in this great line up of superb Laithwaites all-rounders.
THE PERFECT PODCAST PARTNER
Six wines chosen by Jos and Stuart –

The Gooseberry Bush
Refreshing, delicious and innovative – could this be the white wine equivalent of a ramp shot? One difference – you can’t go wrong with this absolute beauty from South Africa.
Beyond the Wicket by Stuart Broad Sauvignon Blanc
I’ve got to hand it to Broady, he’s smashed it out the park with this fruity New Zealand Sauvignon. A real thriller from first drop to last. The nearest thing to Bazball in a glass!
Gold Top Chardonnay
Like great batting, this wine is all about balance. Not too fruity, not too oaky – but just right. Hats off to the Aussies, they sure know how to make top-notch Chardonnay.
Chilled Cinsault
I can think of a few cricketers who were very chilled. But a cool red wine? Pop this Cape Cinsault in the fridge, serve it chilled and be amazed by how deliciously fresh it tastes.
Limited Release Central Otago Pinot Noir
You can’t tour New Zealand without trying great Pinot Noir. This is velvety, a bit spicy and brings back memories of taking test wickets under the lights in Central Otago.
The Black Stump
I loved playing in Australia. Better still, the comradery with teammates and opponents round the barbie after a hard match, sipping smooth, dark reds like The Black Stump.
