Over the years, many advocates for free trade have requested
a T-shirt or baseball cap in exchange for a donation to support
our efforts. And for that support, we're grateful. Based on
your input, we've developed the Free the Grapes! Club, designed
especially for wine lovers who want to help us fight for consumer
choice in wine.
 For
an annual fee of $100, you can join
our Club and receive a special Free the Grapes! T-shirt
featuring or mascot, Shackles, the angry grape person, as
well as a bumper sticker. You'll also receive our periodic
email updates, and you can unsubscribe from our list at anytime.
(We have a very strict privacy policy which you can can read
by clicking here).
We ship T-shirts and bumper stickers once per month for
all subscriptions received that month. After you've been a
member for 11 months, we'll notify you prior to charging your
credit card for the next 12 months, and you'll receive additional
Free the Grapes! wearables.
You may cancel your membership at anytime, of course. 100%
of your contributions will fund Free the Grapes! activities,
including:
- Website: Our website includes powerful software that
helps hundreds of consumers send 1,000-2,500 personalized
letters each month to state and federal legislators;
- Press Coverage: On average, we generate 250-350 news
articles per year in order to keep the issue front and center;
- Events: We participate in events such as the National
Conference of State Legislatures, which provides access
to 5,000+ legislators and staff members;
- Communications: We communicate via email, primarily,
and postcard, with our 300,000 consumer members and 1,000+
winery supporters;
- Meetings: Free the Grapes! provides a forum for the wine
industry to integrate consumer outreach, litigation, and
lobbying into a coordinated campaign.
