Le XV du Président has always been a rugby players drink. The people in the village it's made in drink it after matches. That's why we packed two cases onto the #FANVAN fro Scott to give to the Welsh Charity and Armed Forces vets after a charity game last weekend.

Family is how we started and family is how we mean to go on. Laithwaites was launched over 50 years ago with a little (okay a lot) of help from Tony's grandmother. If it wasn't for family we wouldn't be here. That's why family is still at the heart of everything we do.

If you're looking for a great value wine that you can keep for a few years we really recommend Viña Ardanza Reserva from @LaRiojaAltaSA . It's a classic blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha with close to 36 months of ageing in barrel followed by time in bottle - delicious 🍷
