nunc autem manet fides spes caritas tria haec
maior autem his est caritas
Caritas, from which we get the English word Charity is Latin for love. There are many charity wine auctions, of which the most famous must be the one held every November by the Hospices de Beaune. For this min-series, I will look at those auctions held regularly in the wine business community. There are also a number of wineries with a charitable foundation, which will also be covered. Whilst many in this latter category will inevitably be venerable monastic establishments in the traditional wine growing regions of the old world, some of the former are very well established events in New World countries. In the Screaming Eagle blog, I had already mentioned the Napa Valley Annual Auction, but a couple of South African auctions are also famous for their special bottlings only sold at these auctions. These are the Nederburg auction and the Cape Winemaker Guild Auctions which support a variety of good causes.
