Wednesdays can always use some good news to get us over the hill.  CellarThief is an online wine retailer providing gallons of good news to people in need.

CellarThief’s mission is to bring great wine to consumers at great prices.  We can all, of course, appreciate that as passionate wine consumers, but what really makes CellarThief unique is what happens after your purchase.  For every bottle of wine purchased, CellarThief donates water…vital water to the thousands of people every day that lack access to clean, safe drinking water.  In their words:

At CellarThief we know how important it is to drink. We are lucky to be able to drink great wines from passionate winemakers. We also are passionate that all people should be able to drink well and enjoy clean water.

There are nearly a billion people in the world that struggle to find enough clean water to simply keep themselves healthy – that is 1 in 8 people. In fact, 42,000 people die every week from a lack of clean, safe water, with 90% of those deaths being children 5 years old or younger.

We decided to walk the talk and do our own small part to make a difference. We have partnered with some wonderful people who are dedicating their lives to providing access to clean water for people worldwide. So, for every bottle of wine we sell we donate water so good folks around the world can have the benefit of clean water. As we sell more, we donate more. And, if we sell out of a wine the Bounty is awarded and we donate even more!

To date CellarThief has donated more than 300,000 days of clean drinking water.  At Uncorked Cincinnati we’re of course huge proponents of our local wine shops, but if you purchase wine online please give CellarThief a look.  What they’re doing should be commended.
