Vina Ventisquero announce support for wetland conservation with Yali

Chilean wine producer Vina Ventisquero is showing support for the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust’s (WWT) conservation work by making a donation for every bottle of it’s Yali wine sold in the UK

Vina Ventisquero's winery is situated in the Yali Wetland Zone, Central Chile’s most important ecosystem and home to a quarter of the country’s bird species. Every bottle in the Yali branded range will carry a WWT neck tag to highlight this support.

John Creedon, Corporate Relations Manager for WWT explains: “WWT is delighted to be associated with the Yali brand. There is a strong match between our work conserving wetlands worldwide and the vision of Vina Ventisquero in managing the Yali Wetlands in Chile. The partnership will help us continue with our vital conservation work in the future.”

Americo Hernandez adds: “We are very excited to be working alongside WWT as the organisation is the perfect partner for our Yali brand – both have the same commitment to the environment and specifically to the preservation of wetlands. We have been working very closely with local communities and schools to teach people about the benefits of El Yali Wetland and how everyone can play their part in its conservation.”
