I found a Fair Trade wine, Wandering Grape Marbec-Merlot, in the
clearance bin at Target. The grapes for Waundering Grape wine are
from ten farms in the communities of Lavalle, San Martin and
Medrano areas in Mendoza, Argentina. "Before Fair Trade, the
situation and conditions of the work place was horrendous and we
were treated very badly." say Nelson and Lorenzo, vineyard workers
for a small vineyard in Medrano. Through Fair Trade, Medrano
community members such as Nelson and Lorenzo benefit from the
sales of the Wandering Grape helping them to fund daycare from
preschool children, healthcare facilities and adult literacy programs.
Recently,the community members have voted on establishing a
sports facility providing soccer and rugby.
