The category, redefined
Wine that actually gives back.
Most "charity wine" donates 1–5% of a single SKU. We commit 50% of profits from every bottle to vetted 501(c)(3) dog-rescue partners — and we make wine good enough to stand next to anything in your cellar.
Why "wine that gives back" usually doesn't.
Cause-marketing wine is a crowded shelf. Most brands donate single-digit percentages, often capped, often only from one promotional SKU. We built Rescue Dog Wines as the opposite of that.
50% of profits, every SKU
Not 1%. Not one bottle. Every wine, every order, every month.
Sustainably farmed in Lodi
California's most sustainability-certified wine region. Same appellation, smaller batch, lower footprint.
Award-winning, not apologetic
We compete with Meiomi, Justin, and Kendall-Jackson on flavor — and outwork them on purpose.
How "giveback" wines actually stack up.
| Brand | % of profits donated | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Rescue Dog Wines | 50% | Every bottle, every SKU |
| One Hope | ~10% of revenue | Per-SKU cause assignment |
| Typical cause-marketing wine | 1–5% | Often single SKU, capped |
| Barefoot / Meiomi / Justin | Not a giveback model | Occasional CSR campaigns |

Charity wine, answered.
What is charity wine?
Charity wine is wine produced by a winery that routes profits from every bottle sold to a nonprofit cause. Rescue Dog Wines directs 50% of profits to 501(c)(3) animal-rescue partners helping dogs find their forever home.
Which wines give back the most to charity?
Most cause-marketing wines donate 1–10% of revenue. Rescue Dog Wines commits 50% of profits to dog rescue — among the highest publicly stated giveback rates in U.S. wine. Other notable giveback brands include One Hope (10%) and Wines That Rock.
Is Rescue Dog Wines a 501(c)(3)?
Rescue Dog Wines is a for-profit California winery that partners with vetted 501(c)(3) rescue organizations. Our nonprofit partners receive recurring funding from wine sales, our Wine Club, and our Rescue Ambassador affiliate program.
Are these wines actually good, or am I just buying for the cause?
Our wines are sustainably farmed in Lodi, California — the same appellation as many premium Cabernets — and have earned medals at major U.S. wine competitions. We compete on quality first; the rescue mission is the reason we exist, not a substitute for craft.
How do I know the donations are real?
We publish our rescue partners and impact updates on our Mission page, and our Wholesale and Ambassador disclosures detail the funding flow. Our 501(c)(3) partners can apply directly through our Ambassador program to receive a 12% recurring commission on referred sales.
Can I buy sustainable wine that ships to my state?
Yes. Rescue Dog Wines ships to most U.S. states through licensed compliance partners. Shipping is included on orders of 12+ bottles, and our Wine Club sends hand-curated shipments with shipping included — plus first access to new releases.
