Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!
While climate change and a lack of economic and educational equity continue to weigh down the world, we can all do our part to help stem these troubling tides. And if that help involves delicious wines, all the better!
As more and more companies begin to show their spirit by supporting environmental and community-supporting causes, it has become easier to find new favorites that make you feel good in more ways than one.
New Zealand’s family-run Mohua Winery not only uses sustainable practices to create their delicious Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, they also put their proceeds to work to help the titular native bird survive in its natural habitat and work with the Department of Conservation to support protection initiatives and sanctuary programs.
Similarly, Southern Right’s sustainably award-winning Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc and their rare surargum honey not only delight drinkers and drizzlers but, with help from their associated Hamilton Russell Vineyards (which is a World Wildlife Federation Champion, by the way!), also help fund a school in New Zealand for underprivileged children.
On the other side of the globe, Portugal’s historic Warre’s Port is not only maintining the traditions it established when it first created the world’s first British Port established in Portugal – Warre’s Warrior – but the Symington family that has overseen Warre’s (and other sustainable beverage brands) for five generations is also supporting the community and the world as a B Coporation that maintains the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.
So the next time you want a delicious grape-based beverage, why not enjoy one that helps others as well? There are plenty to choose from and more jump on the beneficial bandwagon every day.
