Matthew, has been my Wine Advisor for as long as I can remember. He recommends good quality and good value wines. We have built a good rapport over the years and it is a pleasure to order wine from him.

Compensation

Fully compensated for the problem I had with a couple of bottles in the last case (nice wine but needed a JVC to open them). Laithwaites did not argue or make excuses but offered compensation immediately which was a nice £26 voucher to buy four very nice French reds.

Never a bad bottle of wine

I contacted my designated Laithwaites agent Hugh Wood and he took my order for 33 bottles in total. The wines are first class, and from experience you never get a bad bottle.
On the down side the delivery people who Laithwaites use let the company down I.e. never ring the doorbell when they deliver, leave boxes at the front door, although they have instructions to put behind side gate out of sight, leave boxes in the pouring rain.
But do not let the above comments put you off using Laithwaites, always great wine.
