In this type of wine competition additional stock is normally requested to
compensate for faulty wines, breakages and also to have wine available for the
awards function. But no matter how well you plan, a fair number of bottles still
remain. To give the wine back to the producers is not only a bit unpractical but
also a logistical nightmare. And to pack it away in storage, even more
unpractical and nightmarish!
It
was with a sigh of relief and much excitement that the committee came across a
solution … donate it to the Pebbles Project. It will relieve them of stock that
needs to be stored, assist in the organisation’s Social Responsibility programme
and boost much-needed income for the Pebbles Project.
Pebbles
have announced that they will be using the ±500 bottles in various fundraising
events and everybody is smiling!
