Kids Wine

Kids Wine

But before spending your hard-earned money on wine, consider this: every 10 minutes, 120 kids around the world die from starvation and saving them by nourishing them costs only 19 cents per day (source: World Food Programme).

If the $24,000, 75cl bottle of Romanee-Conti wine contained 24 sips, that's $1,000 per sip. For the $1,000 that someone spent to take a sip of that wine, over 5,000 kids could have been fed and kept alive, or 175 of them fed for a month and nourished back to health.

Are your wines more in the $240 price range? Each sip of those is worth $10, which could have saved the lives of 50 children or fed 18 of them for a month and nourished them to health. The whole bottle would have saved over 1,200 children or fed 42 of them for a month.

Alcohol is an acquired taste. The better you drink, the better you have to drink. At first, $20 wines impress the taste buds. But if you start to drink $100 wines, $20 wines no longer impress. That doesn't mean your taste buds are more happy, but just that you need to spend more money now to keep them happy.

So why not just stay with $20 wines? Instead of spending more money to make your taste buds only more demanding, why not use the money you save to save the lives of children - tens, hundreds and even thousands of them? Instead of Chateau Cheval Blanc, why not buy Chateau Neuf du Pape? Or instead of Romanee-Conti, buy Sancerre or Chablis, both perfectly fine dry whites?

Something else. Are you sure your money isn't a blessing from God?

"There is no God," you say?
