Michel Rolland turns wine into water

Bonne Nouvelle 2003, a Cabernet, Merlot and Pinotage blend from Stellenbosch, fittingly means “good news” in French.
US$20 from every bottle sold will go directly to Wine To Water to dig deep bore wells in the Dale region of Southern Ethiopia, where six out of 10 people lack access to clean water.
