Gifts That Give Back: 4 Winning Wines
The gift of the grape is one of the most universally beloved ways to connect with one another. Here, a quartet of wines that give something back with each sip.
ONEHOPE Wines
ONEHOPE donates a whopping 50% of its profits to charities benefiting a variety of causes, from providing clean water and veteran support to fighting breast cancer and autism. Each wine is paired with a specific cause, retailing from $19 to $60. You can also enjoy the gift of a ONEHOPE gift card up to $250.
Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co.
Hey soul sister, fancy some drops of jupiter? The first musical entry in today's roundup comes to us from the band Train, who have partnered their Save Me, San Francisco wine label with Family House, providing free housing to families whose seriously ill children are receiving treatment at UC San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital in the band's hometown. $12.
Koz Wines
Proceeds from the sale of Koz Wines are donated to the Starlight Children's Foundation, a nonprofit org dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities. Saxophonist Dave Koz, the label's founder, has been a Starlight ambassador for nearly 20 years. Available at Whole Foods for $20.
Cultivate Wines
Cultivate Wines is the brainchild of the former owners of Screaming Eagle Winery. Although it just launched this year, Cultivate is on track to donate $800,000 to charities voted upon by website visitors by year's end. Ten percent of each dollar is donated to help fund the charities the customers choose themselves. As far as we're concerned, that's something to say "cheers" to. $13-30.
