At Lanchester Wines, our focus goes beyond what’s in the bottle.

Behind the scenes, we’re equally committed to how our wines are stored, handled and brought to market in the most sustainable way possible. We’re proud to see our long-term investment in renewable energy recognised in this latest announcement with the Mining Remediation Authority.

By harnessing heat from disused coal mines, our Gateshead warehouses are powered by a low-carbon, innovative energy source, helping to demonstrate what’s possible for businesses across the UK.

It’s a great example of how our industry can play a role in building a more sustainable future while continuing to deliver quality wines to our customers.

With summer trading well underway, now is the time to make sure your wine list is working as hard as you are.

Luccello Pinot Grigio is everything your customers want when the sun is out, light, crisp, refreshing and beautifully presented. The eye-catching label does the talking on the table, and the quality keeps them coming back for another glass.

A consistently strong performer for both on and off trade, Luccello is the kind of wine that earns its place on any list and delivers on margin.
Speak to your account manager today or get in touch with the Lanchester Wines team to find out more.

Check out the full Luccello range at https://www.lanchesterwines.co.uk/products/?filter%5Bproduct_range%5D=Luccello

Curating a new wine list with a customer is always a pleasure, but even more so when their guests are part of the process — and even better when there’s something to celebrate.

We joined to mark its first birthday by hosting its first ‘Battle of the Bottles’, inviting regulars to taste and choose the wines they’d love to see on the new list.

Great to be at the Spring Trade Tasting

We loved pouring wines, catching up with the trade and, of course, talking about wine – something we never get tired of. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to taste and chat.

We’ll just leave this big Gold award right here…

produces the world’s only Champagne made from 100% Vieilles Vignes Arbane, a grape so rare it’s almost a footnote in Champagne history.

First planted by Famille Moutard in 1952, Arbane now accounts for just 1–2 hectares across the entire Champagne region.

Truly unique. Seriously special.

As if we need an excuse to post about our favourite Malbec, The Brand.

It’s bold, juicy and effortlessly drinkable, exactly what a great house Malbec should be. Packed with ripe dark fruit and a smooth, crowd‑pleasing finish, it’s the bottle we reach for time and time again.

Happy Malbec Day to a true classic that always delivers.

Dougie is truly one of the legends of Lanchester Wines. His knowledge, commitment and steady leadership in our warehouse operations keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and there isn't a part of our site he doesn’t know inside out.

It’s fantastic to see him recognised for the huge part he plays in our business every single day. 👏

Behind every successful business are the people who keep it running day in, day out.

We went behind the scenes at Lanchester Wines on the Greencroft Estate to meet Dougie Hannaby, whose 20-year journey from warehouse supervisor to Operations Manager is a story of hard work, trust and progression.

From managing stock and space to leading a growing team, Dougie plays a key role in one of the region’s largest employers.

This is what local industry looks like up close.
