LAITHWAITES launches gift cards in SAINSBURY’S and Tg JONES

[November 1st, 2025]

Pick up the gift of great wine with your weekly shop!

Laithwaites is delighted to announce the launch of its brand-new gift cards, now available for purchase across more than 2,000 Sainsbury’s and TG Jones stores.

This new in-store partnership continues the company’s mission of making wine more accessible – delivering all the impact of a wine gift without any frantic “is this good???” Google-ing.  

“We know how hard it is to choose the perfect bottle, especially when you’re buying for someone else,” said Liz Smith, Wine Director at Laithwaites. “With our gift card now available in Sainsbury’s, gifting great wine has never been simpler: pop into store, pick up a card and the recipient can explore our award-winning selection at their convenience. Because everyone deserves a wine they’ll love – even if you don’t know what that is.” 

Whether you’re treating a friend, family member or colleague, the Laithwaites Gift Card offers flexible wine gifting, redeemable online for Laithwaites’ curated collection of wines.

Note to Editors – About Laithwaites Wine

Laithwaites Wine was founded in 1969, when Tony Laithwaite drove a van of Bordeaux wine to England to share with family and friends.  Laithwaites has since grown to become one of the UK’s largest wine merchants, yet remains family-owned and still gives pride of place to smaller producers. 

The Laithwaites wine team tastes over 40,000 wines a year before selecting the best buys for customers. Laithwaites offers 1,800 wines from 26 countries, ranging in price from £4.99 up to £1,200 a bottle and all covered by a 100% guarantee of enjoyment.  

They also offer an extensive gifts range, complimentary Wine Advisor service, and host a range of events.  Laithwaites Wine is the only UK wine merchant to win the Service Mark accreditation from the Institute of Customer Service and has twice been awarded Online Retailer of the Year. 

Laithwaites is delighted to be one of ten leading retailers which have signed up to the 'SWR Bottle Weight Accord'.  Founded in 2021, the Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) is the only global independent multistakeholder roundtable in wine.  Jancis Robinson is a founding member and with now more than 100 members from around the world, the SWR has become the centre for collaborative action across the wine supply chain.
