Laithwaites Wine Website Rating and Guide

Laithwaites Wine starts building credibility right from the first page with a banner that says they were Independent Wine Merchant of the Year 2007 (it’d be nice if they indicated what publication gave them the honour). They also have a letter from Tony Laithwaite which basically is all about building trust and credibility. They do have 30 years experience and a huge range (1500 or so wines).

Laithwaites Shop Rating - Laithwaites gets a strong 4 stars rating.

  1. Fun - .5 stars - its not that fun - however its nice and clean cut and Tony’s journal is a nice touch.
  2. Navigation - 1 star - really good navigation. Also they have good details on product pages. They could add on more to the intermediate pages, however am not going to hold that against them.
  3. Value for money - .75.
  4. Information - .75 The wine advisor is a great touch. They also have good information on wine and Tony’s Diary (basically a blog by Tony Laithwaite).
  5. Quality - 1.

A few more thoughts on Laithwaites -
Laithwaites do not sell Spirits. They have an amazing range - As an indicator of the range Laithwaites has there are 79 Chilean wines, 242 Australian wines, 753 wines from France, 196 Spanish wines, 139 Italian Wines, and 45 New Zealand wines. For a quick comparison Tesco has 52 chilean wines, 29 New Zealand wines, 59 Spanish wines. So Laithwaites really does have excellent range.
