Hi, I'm Tony Laithwaite and for nearly 40 years I've sought to bring 'real' wines of authenticity and character direct from the vineyard to your door. A quick note about VAT ... In the Pre-Budget Report, it was announced that VAT will be cut from 17.5% to 15% but the duty on wine would increase by up to 8%. We'd like to assure customers that despite this increase, our prices will remain the same.
