'Fundi' initiative raises funds for wine steward training

Appropriately named "Fundi", all proceeds of the sale of these wines go towards training previously disadvantaged candidates from the hospitality sector, and a large base of unemployed South Africans, as wine stewards.

A number of wines - all premium red blends - were selected from Stellekaya, The Company of Wine People, Anwilka, Waterkloof and Hartenberg, and are available to consumers at R120.00 per bottle from Makro outlets and selected wine stores, or online at www.cybercellar.co.za.

For more information on the wine and training project, visit www.fundiwine.co.za.
