For several years now, sixty top Italian winemakers have participating in a program that raises money to fight AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. The wineries buy round, red and blue “Wine for Life” stickers (see below) from the non-profit Sant’Egidio Community charity for a half-euro each (about 61 cents) and affix them to bottles of one of their best wines (they agree not to pass the cost on to consumers).
To support the project while drinking some very fine vino, look for wines by these wineries, and then look for bottles bearing the “Wine for Life” stickers.
