What is Charity Wines, you ask?
Though it's a revolutionary concept in charitable giving, it's really quite simple...
First: We team with a superstar athlete, celebrity or other high profile/notable person and they graciously donate the use of their name and image to produce a unique wine brand.
Second: The celebrity chooses a charitable organization to which they are particularly close.
Third: We use our 30+ years experience in the beverage industry to source the perfect wine to match with the celebrity and his/her charity.
Lastly: The generosity of the American public is unparalleled anywhere in the world, and the last (and most important) part of the puzzle is you, the consumer. You purchase the wines with your hard earned money and we donate roughly 70% of our pre-tax profits to the celebrity’s charity. The celebrity does not make one penny.
The philanthropic division of our wine import company, VinLozano Imports Inc., Charity Wines was formed to find superstar athletes, celebrities and notable organizations, and match them with fine wines to raise funds for great charities across the country.
With a combined 30 years in the restaurant, wine distribution and import business, we, like the rest of the world have been touched by the tragedies of cancer, heart disease, juvenile diabetes and Alzheimer's. We are certainly not unique in this regard. Everyone has family, a friend, acquaintance or they themselves have been affected in some way by these and other debilitating and life threatening diseases and conditions. But there are fantastic organizations and foundations out there working diligently to find cures and bring comfort to those suffering.

We'd love to speak with you!
Creating wines for charity keeps us extremely busy but we do enjoy sharing our experience and expertise whenever we are able. Whether it's a corporate conference, college lecture or a Chamber of Commerce meeting, our unique success with cause marketing, marketing, advertising, and fundraising appeals to a broad business base. We can help you expand your business views and, of course, your wine knowledge! (Presentations with or without wine tastings are offered.)
