Know of any other union made spirits? Add them to the list.

This was a bad year for those that tend to grapes to make wine in California. Five known heat related deaths including an 18 year old girl that was expecting. After reading about her, I switched to only UFW approved wines.

Memorial Service for 17-Year-Old Farm Worker; First Heat-Related Death This Year :http://www.ufw.org/_board.php?mode=view&b_code=news_press&b_no=4305&page=2&field=&key=&n=525

UFW's own Black Eagle was served at the Democratic Convention with great pride.


The United Farm Workers has launched Black Eagle Wines.com selling wine produced under UFW contract by farm workers who have decent wages, healthcare and a pension. The proceeds support the UFW's organizing.
