Laithwaites Wine Offers
Laithwaites was founded in 1969 by it’s eponymous founder, Tony Laithwaite. In the last 43 years he has taken the business from a Ford transit van to a thriving business with a significant focus on it’s online sales in recent years. With a growth in online-commerce in the last 12 years or so, Laithwaites has set up it’s stall as a leading online retailer of wine and spirits.
It regularly provides a number of promotions and deals and heavily advertises on television and in printed press. The strong selling point for Laithwaites, is that because it sells direct, it’s able to offer cheaper prices and promotions to it’s customers. However, Laithwaites doesn’t just stock the cheap and cheerful. It also has an extensive range of fine wines and en primeur wines which puts it amongst one of the higher-end online wine merchants that appeals both to novices and aficionados.
Standard delivery costs £6.99 and takes three working days. However, they also offer a collect-in-store option along with a more expensive ‘guaranteed’ delivery service.
About Laithwaites Wine Offers…
Today over 40 years on, we’re now called Laithwaites Wine and deliver wine to over 700,000 customers. We may be bigger, but we still go ‘direct’ in the same old way, and so keep costs down.
We have a huge network of supplier contacts, some now the grandchildren of those we started with. We still only do top-quality, small production wines from producers in every corner of the known wine world. We are still travelling, still searching out the real good wines.
