Have a think about just what you spend each week purchasing wine.
A bottle here, a bottle there, pick one up when you are heading out for dinner, grab bottle of something to give as an easy birthday, Christmas, housewarming gift. Generally they cost between $10 - $20, how many a week would you buy? If I was being honest I would have to say at least 3, what about you?
Now if you would indulge me, have a think about where your $30 - $50 goes each week. A fair percentage goes to the supermarket / liquor store, the rest to the winemaker / grape grower, perhaps some to the transport company. A large majority of the wine sold at supermarkets is owned by hugeconglomerates and unless you only buy local wines your money leaves the region, often the country. Did you know that? Perhaps it didn’t even enter your realm of consciousness. Fair enough too, we all deserve a glass of something after a hard days / weeks work!
But what if our money could be used to help someone, we still get our bottle of wine; we still get to enjoy it with a girlfriend, over dinner or relaxing by the river.
Black Pearl rosé was made locally, using local grapes for a local girl called Meg Casley who has severe Cerebral Palsy. The award winning local wine maker gave her time to make the wine to help Meg, the Local grape growers gave their produce to help Meg, and the Local volunteers who pickedgrapes, bottled, labelled and boxed the wine gave their time to help Meg.
Could you help Meg by purchasing a box of 6 bottles? @ $15 a bottle you wont need to pop in at the bottle shop for 2 – 3 weeks, it’s money you would have spent anyway!
