For the past ten months, we’ve been selling fair trade Riojana wines from La Riojana cooperative winery in Argentina. Through June, we’d sold 36,302 bottles! In addition to receiving a fair price for their grapes and other benefits of belonging to a co-op, the grape growers receive a fair trade premium that is used to fund community projects.
When Walter Carol visited us from the winery, we interviewed him about the effects of the fair trade winery on the people of the Rioja province. Watch the interview, below.
Riojana wines are on sale this weekend, August 19-21, 2016: $5.99 per bottle!
