We all love to support brands that give back to the world, and wine is no different. Below are 6 Ontario wines that all give back to great causes. Some are available in the LCBO and others are available via their website online.
Game Changer Series
Game Changer is a group of wine that in itself is a celebration of excellence, philanthropy and the “quiet heroes” that are all around us. The wine is produced using a cutting-edge, optical sorting system which assists the winemaker in removing unwanted materials and grapes that fall outside the desired parameters. This new and amazing technology literally changed the game for the winery. “Game Changer” and all it implies has become our stream to financially give back to charities within our community while honouring those unsung individuals who make life better for us all. You can order directly from the website.
