Decanter

Decanter is one of the world's leading wine magazines, read in nearly 100 countries by amateur enthusiasts and serious collectors alike. Since 2005, Decanter has supported WaterAid through the prestigious Decanter World
Wine Awards.

Turning left over wine into water through a series of auctions has proven to be a winning formula. Wine producers from around the world enter their wine to be judged in the annual awards. For each wine entered into the competition, a producer is asked to send four bottles, in case of corked or oxidized wine and breakages. All bottles remaining after the judging has been completed are auctioned to raise money for WaterAid.

To date, over £235,000 has been raised through this fantastic partnership, enabling thousands of people in some of the world's poorest communities to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
