Basket Case Wines

Description

Basket Case Wines is about a very simple truth: wine is not about exclusivity, arrogance, elitism, or pomposity. Wine is about having fun. We strive to make wine that you’ll love to drink, and a business you can trust. But we don’t care what you drink, how you drink it, or whether or not you can put words to what you are tasting. DRINK WHAT YOU LIKE! That’s all there is to it. To find out more, please visit www.basketcasewine.com.

Commitment

Effective June 2007, Basket Case Wines has offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country’s leading carbon offset organization. Basket Case believes that ignoring ‘footprint’ costs essentially shifts a portion of operational costs to future generations, creating a false sense of success. By partnering with Carbonfund.org, Basket Case Wines is able to reduce this future burden. We believe that responsible business can deliver a fair and honest profit.

“We don’t know what the answer to the global warming question is, but I personally believe that the answer will not happen overnight,” said Sean Carlton, co-owner of Basket Case Wines. “Going CarbonFree with Carbonfund.org is something we can do right here, right now. I can’t afford to wait for the Eureka moment.”
