Wine Lovers United


When I think of a food coop, I instantly imagine a group of people, working together to provide each other and their community with farm fresh food. I also imagine the closeness and the dedication it takes to run a food coop, all in the name of volunteerism, sustainability and affordable food for shoppers and members alike.   However when I stumbled up a wine coop article, I was intrigued.

These two coops captured my attention. As you read their story you get a great sense of integrity, passion, and social responsibility. The connection each member has with the other and the community they serve is endearing.

I image the endless flavor varieties and delicious pairing possibilities offered by these two wine coops.

To read their stories and to purchase your own special coop bottle, please visit:

  2. Thanks! I found the work that Rockroom is doing to be great. I wonder if there is something similar in NYC.
