About Us Lifestylewines is a French wine importer, online retailer and supplier to quality NZ restaurants and wine retailers.

As importer and retailer we are able to offer fine French wines at favourable prices. Our promise is quality wines, caring customer service and a 100% money back guarantee. AOC Madiran wines from France was the first product range. Now other exciting new ranges from southwest France have been added; wines to enhance your lifestyle and beverage choices. All the imported wines are shipped in temperature controlled containers so the wines are kept in top condition. Rob and Dr Erica Lauder are wine enthusiasts and believers in a healthy lifestyle. We may work hard, but we also eat well and cook with passion. Erica is a busy general practitioner who experiences every day her patient's desire and need for choices that complement conventional medicine. But Erica will only give her support to proven and sensible approaches. Rob's business endeavours have an emphasis on healthy lifestyle products.  Having seen the research in late 2006 that identified flavonoid antioxidants called procyanidins as the compound in red wines primarily responsible for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease - a major factor in increased longevity - they investigated further. Potentially, here were unique health sustaining properties in some wines with high concentrations. On discovering French AOC Madiran wines they decided to enjoy these fine wines daily. The health advantages of procyanidins in the wines were not being highlighted and so Rob decided there was an opportunity to make available for all New Zealanders a larger range of these wonderful and powerful wines from southwest France. When you purchase their French red wines, not only will you purchase fine wines from passionate craftsman winemakers, but they are the healthiest wine choices you can make. Here is a way to support optimum cardiovascular health with a natural food product that contains uniquely high concentrations of heart healthy antioxidant compounds. This is an attractive message to many people. As an old quote says "A man is as old as his arteries". The old folk in the southwest of France who drink these Madiran (and wines of other other appellations Lifestylewines has identified) not only have exceptional longevity, they are also very healthy. In April 2007 Dr Erica and Rob attended the Wine & Health Symposium in Pau, France. This was a wonderful opportunity to hear about the research first-hand from Professor Roger Corder and other international science and medical experts who confirmed the research and the epidemiological studies that have for years indicated that a modest consumption of red wine was a good health choice. Subsequent to his research being published in Nature magazine in late 2006, Prof Roger Corder published his book The Wine Diet in early 2007. This is an informative, science based, sensible and wide ranging discussion about wine, other foods rich in procyanidins, coronary and general health, plus diet plans, recipes and more. As a lifestyle guide this book deserves to be a best-seller.
