What We Do
Life’s too short to drink ugly wine
We produce beautiful bottles of wine that people love to own
We work with galleries around the world to help deliver art into people’s homes and enable them to live a more beautiful life. The royalty fees that we pay ensure that future generations can enjoy these masterpieces as we do today.
Retailers of all types love to stock our wines as its helps them broaden the appeal of their entire wine category and allows them to stock wines from niche regions that are all too often over-looked by big brands.
Consumer enjoy finding their favourite images on-shelf, enjoy talking about their personal relationship with these wines and enjoy gifting the wines to those that they care about.
“The Art of Wine is unique proposition in the wine category. The brand helps introduce consumers to new styles and being so memorable, we see people coming back time and time again to enjoy the wines.”
— London wine bar owner.
What We’ve Achieved:
The Art of Wine is available in 20 countries around the world
We help support several galleries with royalty payments for permission to use their images
Our wines sell through all channels including grocery, restaurants and on-line
Our wines are sourced from smaller, niche producers, allowing them to focus on making great wine whilst we drive sales
The range is under constant development and we hope to launch new wines soon!
W.R. Lethaby
I must pay my respects to my distant ancestor William Richard Lethaby, (18th Jan 1857 – 17th July 1931).
Lethaby, the art educator, founded Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design, and worked to breakdown divisions between the intellectual pursuit of design and the practical task of craftmanship.
Lethaby, the designer, apprenticed under Richard Shaw and collaborated with local architects to design large stone buildings around Birmingham, such as the (former) Eagle Insurance Buildings; he was one of the co-founders of the Art Worker’s Guild and working alongside William Morris, he contributed to the thinking behind the Arts and Crafts movement.
Lethaby, the architectural historian, treated architecture for the first time as a system of symbols with real philosophical meanings, rather than abstract and wholly aesthetic.
Lethaby, the conservator, as Surveyor of Westminster Abbey, created a template of preservation for historic buildings, protecting the integrity of older buildings from the Victorian practice of ‘improving’ and ‘adding to’ them.
If the faintest trace of this man’s profound artistic understanding and careful artistic conservation can be found in my veins, please God, let me do something cool with it!
