Bandit Wines said it donated $104,000 to environmental nonprofits within the 1% for the Planet network of nonprofit partners, each committed to preserving the American landscapes . The donation follows Bandit Wines’ commitment in July 2019 to donate 1% of annual sales to the 1% for the Planet organization.
In further support of the cause, Bandit Wines today announced a Wine Seltzer line comprised of Rainier Cherry and Honeycrisp Apple offerings, both donning the 1% for the Planet logo and contributing to next year’s donation.
“Since we first introduced Bandit wines in lightweight, eco-minded Tetra Paks in 2003, we’ve made protecting the environment our mission,” said Charles Bieler, co-founder of Bandit Wines. “Partnering with 1% for the Planet in 2019 helped us continue that cause, and we’re proud to help fund the environmental nonprofits that need our help. Looking toward next year, we hope to increase our donation with proceeds from our latest launch, Bandit Wine Seltzers.”
