Laithwaite’s Wine People’s Story
My own affair with the wonderful world of wine began in Bordeaux, in the Summer of Love. My first job in the industry was sticking labels on bottles of Claret ... Today, Australia is one of the most exciting places to enjoy wine in the world — and I'm delighted (and grateful) that Aussie wine lovers are choosing Laithwaite's Wine to bring them the best from the Barossa Valley to McLaren Vale, France, Italy and beyond.
As a student I spent my summers working in the Bordeaux vineyards — lugging the local wine home on the train for a few family friends. Then in 1969 I bought a Ford van in order to bring real wines — wines of authenticity and character and directly to customers in the UK.
Called 'Bordeaux Direct', the original business had just five wines on the list and only 150 customers. But slowly we began investigating vineyards further up the Dordogne river... and beyond.
In the 1970's we were the first merchants — of any nationality — to prospect and buy wine from the wine regions of southern France ... Bergerac, Duras, Cahors, Madiran, Gaillac, Minervois, Saint-Chinian and so on eastwards. Then came other countries; Rioja, Bulgarian Cabernet, even wines from Australia that were first shipped in 1974.
