What is a wine club ?
A wine club is a curated experience designed for wine enthusiasts—those who enjoy exploring diverse flavors and regions, and who value the convenience of having expertly selected wines delivered straight to their door. But when we talk about our Laithwaites wine clubs, we're talking about much more than just a delivery service.
With Laithwaites, it's a journey of taste and discovery. Our clubs are about introducing you to wines that you may not have otherwise come across, and providing a platform for you to explore and savor wines from world-renowned vineyards and small, family-run estates alike.
When you join a Laithwaites wine club, you're signing up for guaranteed savings on every members-only case and the joy of having a case of expertly selected wines conveniently arrive at your doorstep every 3 months. It's like a constant exploration of the world's finest wine regions, right from the comfort of your own home.
Moreover, club membership is more than just a transaction—it's a partnership and an adventure. You get to be part of an exclusive community, enjoying VIP offers tailored specifically for members and gaining access to other special deals throughout the year.
At Laithwaites, we believe that your wine experience should be personal, flexible, and above all, enjoyable. That's why our clubs operates on a 'no obligation to continue' basis, meaning you're free to cancel your subscription at any time.
In essence, a Laithwaites wine club is your passport to an ever-evolving world of wine—a world filled with exclusive selections, extraordinary value and endless discovery. Our steadfast 100% money-back guarantee ensures that every bottle you uncork fills you with delight and confidence. The world of wine is vast and varied—come explore it with us.
How do you select the wines for club cases ?
Our team of global experts taste over 40,000 wines each year, and just 2% make the cut. The Laithwaites couples that curate each wine club then select their favorite discoveries from this shortlist for each quarterly shipment.
For the Signature and Reserve collections, we take the selection process one step further and allow you to help personalize the selections. For example, if you’re not a fan of Merlot, or you really love Italian wines, we want to know! By setting your Wine Preferences, you give us valuable information about your tastes—and we plan your cases accordingly. Once you’ve answered a few short questions about the kinds of wines you like (and don’t like), we’ll make sure the club cases you receive are packed with wines that will delight you!
Because the selections for Insider Collection are by their nature very rare, these quarterly cases are not personalized per club member, but are the selections that Tom Laithwaite and his wife Kirsten are most excited about for that season.
Do your wines have any awards or critical acclaim?
Yes! In fact, our current range of wines has won over 550 medals (including over 430 gold medals), while 335 of our wines have been rated 90 points or higher by top international critics.
Beyond that, our wines have received over 130,000 five-star reviews online (with an average rating of 4.0 out of 5) as well as 1.57 million favorite clicks from customers.
How do wine clubs work?
Our wine clubs are subscription services that are uniquely tailored to cater to your interests and tastes. When you join our Signature Collection or Reserve Collection, you start by sharing your preferences—for instance, whether you enjoy reds, whites, or a mix of both, and whether you favor robust, full-bodied wines or prefer lighter, fruitier styles.
Each club is curated by members of the Laithwaite family. They work closely with our team of local experts to select wines for each club’s quarterly collection. These choices aren't random; they span across different regions, vintages and styles, ensuring you have a diverse range of flavors to explore. These expertly chosen wines are then shipped directly to your door (home, office or wherever you’d like) every 3 months.
Being part of a Laithwaites wine club brings its unique privileges. As a member, you enjoy exclusive benefits such as significant savings on each wine, exclusive deals on specially selected wines plus access to exciting events and more.
But perhaps what makes a Laithwaites wine club most appealing is its flexibility. For example, you can skip a shipment or cancel your subscription at any time. Plus, the Laithwaites money-back guarantee ensures that if a wine doesn't meet your expectations, it will be replaced or refunded.
It’s more than just a wine delivery service—it's an exciting journey into the world of wine, offering you a variety of choices, expert guidance and exclusive benefits…all from the comfort of your own home.
Is it easy to adjust my wine club shipments or cancel?
Yes and yes! You can quickly and easily skip cases or change the date of delivery by heading to your Wine Club Settings. You may also cancel your wine club membership at any time online by scrolling to the bottom of that page (though we’ll be very sorry to see you go).
To make things easy, we send you advanced notice of all upcoming club cases via email. Additionally, you can preview your upcoming case on our Wine Clubs page in your online account. You can can also adjust your preferences to ensure you’re getting the kinds of wines you enjoy. For example, if you’re an all-reds customer, you can change to a mix of reds & whites or an all-whites case with just the click of a button under Wine Clubs in your online account. (Please note, this is only available for Signature and Reserve members, as the Insider Collection is a fully curated quarterly case.)
Are wine clubs worth it?
Wine clubs are absolutely worth it for enthusiasts, wine newcomers and anyone with an interest in wine who is looking to explore an array of wines handpicked by experts. With Laithwaites, you get much more than just bottles of wine—it's an exciting journey into diverse flavors, regions and traditions. Beyond the convenience of home delivery, you enjoy exclusive deals, guaranteed savings on club cases and a curated experience tailored to your taste. Above all, the delight of discovering new wines, coupled with a Laithwaites money-back guarantee, makes our wine clubs a rewarding investment for any wine lover.
