For the first time since its inception in 1997, the Canadian AIDS Society Corporate Leadership Award has been given to a non-Canadian company, Santa Margherita from Italy.
The award is given in recognition of companies that strive to fight AIDS in a clear commitment to community efforts. For 4 years, Santa Margherita has sponsored the annual Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life, by contributing C$0.50 from the sale of every bottle of Pinot Grigio sold by the Liquor Board to the Canadian AIDS Society. In 2009, Santa Margherita sold 7.8 million bottles of Pinot Grigio worldwide, two thirds of which were bought in the U.S.
Santa Margherita will be present at Vinexpo 2011. (VSB - 7 January 2011)
