Piggy Bank wines, whose strapline is ‘generosity in every bottle’, is inviting the public to vote for its three shortlisted charities, who will share a £10,000 donation proportionately based on the number of votes each receives.
The wine company donates 50p for each bottle of wine it sells. When the total of donations reaches £10,000 it is split between three charities.
Currently the selected charities are Meningitis Now, Water Aid and the RNLI.
