48 Hour Rare Wine Auction – Full Proceeds to NZ Red Cross Earthquake Appeal

Posted by Tracey on February 23, 2011. Category: Wine News — Tags: , , , ,

 
Hi from The Poole Family & The Fine Wine Delivery Company Team

The Christchurch Earthquake has marked a very dark day in NZ history. To see our fellow kiwis suffering, injured, losing loved ones, their homes and businesses destroyed is heartbreaking to say the least.
We’ve deferred our normal promotional activity for a 48 hour period as this is a time for all New Zealanders to get on and do what we can to help our deeply devastated Christchurch community.

Christchurch needs our help and here’s one way our family, our team and our customers can all contribute…

We are putting up for auction three cases of our rare Selection Series dozens valued at $4000 each (with the help of our customers we hope to successfully auction all three cases and gift all proceeds to the cause). Even if you are unable to bid for one of the dozens, you can greatly assist by forwarding this auction offer as broadly as possible in a hope to maximise the funds raised.

The Auction:

The Fine Wine Delivery Company Selection Series Dozen valued at $4000

A selection of 12 rare wines collected by and aged in the professional wine cellar storage facilities of The Fine Wine Delivery Company.
Endorsed as a magnificent selection of wines by Masters of Wine, Steve Smith, Jane Skilton and Alastair Maling, all of the wines are in pristine condition and drinking superbly. 

We have released 7 of the 18 dozens to several NZ Charities and they have fetched on average $4,000 per dozen (one went for $20,000!). Secure yourself one of the rarest selections of fine wine and help support our devastated Christchurch community.

100% of proceeds go to the NZ Red Cross Earthquake Appeal
