Ukarine Crisis: European Winemakers to offer safe havens
An overview of the initiative from Cath at Imbibo.
The last time we checked, over four million people have fled Ukraine, and even more have been displaced within their own country. We’re not here to tell you how to feel about it, but we would like to help in any small way we can. That’s why we’d love to let you know what Tim Wildman has been working on with his old colleagues at UK importer and distributor, Les Caves de Pyrene.
Les Caves de Pyrene have approached their winemaking friends right across Europe, from Germany to Georgia, who have lodgings at their winery or vineyard that might otherwise be used for tourism or seasonal workers but could offer a safe haven for Ukrainians who have been made homeless by the conflict. Les Caves de Pyrene are dedicating their time and resources to act as a link between the producers and those who have been displaced and have set up a JustGiving page, the proceeds of which will be used to cover the logistical elements of the relocation process.
And now to Tim, and how you can help. Fortunately, Wildman Wine had a bumper year in 2021, and we've actually got a bit of Pét-Nat left at a time when it would usually be sold out. Tim has dedicated this to the efforts, and for every bottle sold he will contribute two dollars towards the fund-raiser. We're all aboard on this idea, so from IMBIBO, we will match every dollar raised. We've also discounted it, so if you want to make a further contribution without losing margin, it's available. There’s never been a better time to drink to the piggy or the bunny.
What we are doing to Help
We have jumped on board this great initiative from Wildman Wines (the producer) and Imbibo (the distributor) so that $6 from every bottle sold is being donated to help Ukrainian refugees relocate to vineyards in Europe.
$2 Organic Wine + $2 Imbibo + $2 Wildman Wines
