Cru Vin Dogs -- Great Wines for Great Causes

In our seemingly dog-eat-dog world (ha-ha), there are still a lot of people out there doing good things. One wine company, Cru Vin Dogs, "combines great wine, fine art, special dogs and worthy canine-related causes."

A minimum of 10% of their sales revenue on all wines, art, and merchandise is split between their charitable partners: Canine Companions for Independence and the Morris Animal Foundation's Cure Canine Cancer Campaign.

They say it best:

Cru Vin Dogs isn't your ordinary wine company. We exist to combine our passions--friendship, wine, art, and our love of dogs and worthy causes--into a wine brand with a purpose. Wine that gives back. Wine that makes a difference.

Current releases include Puppy Series, Portrait Series and Best in Show. Salud!
