Laithwaites Wine – the independent wine store - today announces its launch of AC/DC The Wine. AC/DC, The World’s Top Live Rock Band, has teamed up with Laithwaites and one of Australia’s favourite wineries, Warburn Estate, to make the critically acclaimed wine and rock the entire wine world.
Following the huge success of the AC/DC The Wine in Australia, Laithwaites today celebrates being able to exclusively bring this top-billing "rocker" wine to UK consumers.
Celebrating two classic wine styles – Shiraz and Sauvignon – classic rockers AC/DC and celebrated Australian winery Warburn Estate, have created two high-voltage wines, available to buy today at Laithwaites www.laithwaites.co.uk :
- Back in Black Shiraz 2011 - Barossa (from £9.99 a bottle) and;
- Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc 2011 – Marlborough (from £9.99 a bottle)
Sourced from some of the Southern Hemisphere’s most popular and established wine regions, and styled in 100% AC/DC packaging, the wine will delight die-hard classic rock fans - including AC/DC’s 13 million Facebook fans - and wine lovers familiar with Laithwaites’ top-quality, exclusive wine lines.
Within two weeks of its launch in Australia, sales of the exclusive wine went platinum. Critical acclaim flowed for the wines – including a Winestate Recommended medal for the Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc - produced at world-renowned and medal-winning winery, Warburn Estate.
AC/DC The Wine will be available to buy from Laithwaites from 8th February http://www.laithwaites.co.uk/

Wow I just. Spent 2 hrs trying to write something. I was getting so frustrated. But then again I was born in 1962. I have no collage (see). Initially I actually could write the band telling them how they played ha ha a one of my favorite things and I pretty much in thought of my friends when they hear it. I was filled with such enjoyment in there music. I was crushed my junior year. We had tickets for a greenbay,wi show.it would be the first time I seen them. We talked and planned, put a 1/2 of pot aside. Then the one morning i will not forget.Bon Scott died. Come on. It stays with you a while. At that age if you we fortunate you didn’t have a lot of experience with death.I’m not saying like someone you love but something you love. I guess what I wanted to say is: it really sucks that you have to be on phones,computers,and pay to be what we were fans. I seen they were giving away commemorable box set if you were a 3 yr member. It really is hard to take youngsters when you drive 6 hrs thinking we have bought the best seats in the house according to the arenas map. We get there and we were so far back it was disappionting. I had two couples in front of us. Guys were fine and respectful. I had to keep my cool 2 girls were so loud pushing and drunk.I don’t even think they knew what the band was. I thought that there should be special seating for us that got older with them. I’m not saying I’m. Any better. But if you young people gotta respect that we were around the whole time. I’m sorry but without us you would be enjoying them. The next time your in reserved seating and singing back in black cause that was your first album. I mean cd. Look around go back back back grab some one from our generation share your seat. Remember it all comes back.
Thanks and tell the fan club that get special tickets if they want them (that kills me) to say thanks to all members and union of acdc or how or what business reads this chats?
