Already known for their lobby happy hours, Kimpton Hotels are further stepping up their booze game with a new Wines That Care program. The new selections, which will be served up in all 51 Kimptons, have been picked because the vineyards involved are using socially or environmentally conscious practices. Which is awesome, because we now have an extra excuse to enjoy their fine, free booze with a clear conscience.
Among the brands now on offer are French Rabbit, biodynamic wine which comes in Tetra Pak to reduce packaging weight and cost, Citra Wines, an Italian brand that's donating calling cards to soldiers serving overseas, and Banrock Station, the Australian vineyard that donates a portion of sales to preserving wetlands worldwide.
The company's director of wines, whose real name is Emily Wines (there's someone who was born for their profession), says the philosophies of the vineyards sync with those of Kimpton, which has numerous initiatives that dole out the warm fuzzies, from an EarthCare environmental program to corporate emphasis on achieving LGBT employee equality. We say, all the better that it's served up for free every night.
