Why Choose Wine from LWC?

At LWC, wine isn’t just something we sell - it’s a passion, a craft, and a commitment. As multi-award-winning wine merchants and importers, we work with a global network of respected growers and producers to bring a truly exceptional wine portfolio to the UK on-trade and off-trade markets. From independent restaurants to national hotel chains, pop up events to festivals and more, we supply wines that are as unique as the businesses we serve.

Product

Our wine range has been developed to meet the needs of the on-trade. With a portfolio curated by experts and supported by one of the largest nationwide teams of Wine Development Managers, we do more than supply – we add value. Whether you’re looking for premium on-trade exclusives or familiar favourites like Whispering Angel and Laurent-Perrier, our range has been handpicked to meet current trends and long-standing favourites, from £5 to £500, delivered alongside our vast range of beers, spirits, soft drinks and more.

Award-winning Wines

Our wine range continues to receive accolades from the world’s most prestigious competitions, such as the on-trade-exclusive Sommelier Wine Awards and leading drinks’ industry trade news outlet Harper’s Wine & Spirits.

These medals speak to the quality and diversity of our portfolio – from accessible house pours to standout fine wines. You can explore all our Medal Winners in our dedicated brochure.
