Over 3,200 Trees Planted From Sale of Fresh & Easy's ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc Wine
March 11 / EL SEGUNDO, Calif. / PRNewswire

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- This Earth Day, doing a good deed has never been easier - or tastier - and all for under $10. For each bottle of award-winning ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc Wine purchased at Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, American Forests, a nonprofit organization dedicated to environmental restoration, will plant a tree in areas devastated by wildfires.

Fresh & Easy launched this exclusive wine last Earth Day and last year alone American Forests planted more than 3,200 new trees as a result of customer purchases.

Fresh & Easy created the exclusive ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc blend with California's Sonoma Wine Company using sustainable winegrowing practices. The winery is a member of the Sonoma County Green Business Program and the Wine Institute's Sustainable Winegrowing Program.

"At Fresh & Easy we try to reduce our impact on the environment in everything we do, so it just makes sense to keep that in mind when it comes to the wine we offer," said Karen Fletcher, Wine Category Manager at Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. "We're happy to have partnered with ONEHOPE so we can provide our customers with a high-quality, affordable wine that also helps make our neighborhoods a little greener."

Fresh & Easy's ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious, crisp dry white with flavors of passion fruit and guava. It's medium-bodied, smooth and pairs perfectly with pasta. It has a long length and a very refreshing finish.

ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc Wine is the recipient of a Silver Medal at the 2008 Long Beach Grand Cru International Wine Competition. Fresh & Easy's Master of Wine, Phil Reedman, worked closely with ONEHOPE Winemaker David Elliot to create this blend. The wine retails for $9.99 per 750 ml bottle.
