Father’s Day Gift Guide From Laithwaite’s Wine

With Father’s Day looming, here are some of our suggestions we think would make a great gift for Dad. They’re centred around fine sipping, so whether he likes it Cheerful or classic, Laithwaite’s has something for all tastes.  

The Complete Book of Port – £50 – see featured image

Perfect gift for: Dads who love the finer things in life – a 10-bottle, port collection housed in a ‘book,’ 16 x 9 x 2inches, inspired by the 14th generation Barão de Vilar. Designed for the more discerning man, it combines educational knowledge with the reward of a tasty drink at the end of all that learning. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase drink and learn. Expect to find all the typical grades of port, including Tawny, Rosé (delicious), Late Bottled Vintage, white, and 10 year old. Complete with educational, tasting notes in the cover to guide him through the collection.

Brew Republic Craft Beer & Snack Box – £25

Perfect for: The man who feels at home at the pub –  this gift box comes with five discerning craft beers, a drinking glass, a pack of tasty salami chips, and a beer mat so he has everything he needs in one place. Our favourite tipple was the Moor beer, with its overtones of tropical fruit and hint of citrus. For nibbling, the salami chips are, in the author’s opinion, similar in taste and texture to pork crackling and just as delicious. A cool gift for the Dad who wants to bring the pub to him.

In House Tasting Rum Gift Set – £34.95

Perfect gift for: The budding mixologist – this box set showcases five miniature bottles each of 50ml and is the perfect gift for rum lovers everywhere. Included is a cocktail recipe book, tasting notebook, sugar syrup and a phial of angostura bitters to get dad using his imagination. Make tall or short drinks reminiscent of the tropics and far away beaches. Great for at-home use during this somewhat locked down climate. Home tasting and imaginativeness at an affordable price.
