The entire South African wine industry has worked together with Wines of South Africa (WOSA) to create an innovative top quality wine brand, and ensure that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this wine will be used to train more than 2 000 previously disadvantaged people as wine stewards by 2010, when South Africa will host the FIFA World Cup.
 


Fundi Wines - Contribute to empowering people for 2010
04 December 2008  by Wines of South Africa
This Christmas, you can contribute to South Africa's 2010 effort by purchasing Fundi wine as a gift. And the recipient will enjoy a fabulous red wine.
What is the link to 2010? 100% of the proceeds of every bottle sold will go to training wine stewards so that when visitors come to our country they will be served our wines by enthusiastic and knowledgeable waiters.

The entire South African wine industry supports Fundi and many companies, such as cork and glass manufacturers contributed. The wine was chosen by the prestigious Cape Wine Makers Guild.

The wine industry is aiming to train 2010 wine stewards by the start of the World Cup. Half of the learners will be from the hotel and restaurant industry and the other half will be currently unemployed. The training course offers the learners an opportunity to grow in confidence and improve their skills.

Each bottle has an attractive collectable beaded glass marker, which was another wine industry job creation effort.

This is a great corporate gift for clients, for international guests, and for those wine friends who seems to have all the wine they desire - Fundi is unique and the gift lasts long after the drinking pleasure.

Fundi is available at Makro, Cybercellar.co.za, La Cotte Wine Shop in Franschhoek, Caroline's Fine Wines and an increasing number of stores and restaurants in South Africa, at around R120 per bottle. So say cheers to this legacy of hope.
