The Great Brain Cell Sacrifice Wine
The Great Brain Cell Sacrifice was founded by two creative execs at Droga5, one of the most awarded ad agencies in the world, who both have children in the New York City public school system and saw firsthand the shortfalls in funding amid a national literary crisis. They wanted to make it so that every time you open a bottle of wine, you are donating books to kids in America. So while you might be harming a few brain cells, you are helping to build a brighter future for kids. They partner with non-profit organization Books for Kids to make this happen.
With the current closures of schools across the U.S., getting underprivileged kids access to books is more important than ever. Over 8.5 million American children lack access to the literacy resources they need to learn to read. The Great Brain Cell Sacrifice is a wine that was founded so that every bottle sold helps kids in underfunded communities learn to read.
They are now directing all their donations to provide children with much-needed literary resources while they’re out of school to support them in their journey to literacy. For every six bottles sold, a “home library” of six books will go to the children who need them most — those in isolation who are in homes without books, who now have no access to their schools or libraries, and may not for the rest of the school year.
The Great Brain Cell Sacrifice offers organically-farmed 2018 Pinot Noir, an elegant, textured wine from top Santa Barbara producer Lieu Dit; A pure-flavored, expressive 2018 Chenin Blanc which gives you a sense of chalk, and its 2019 Rosé which is produced from excess juice of the winery’s Pinot Noir.
