DISCOUNT WINE CELLARS

Take a look at your wine cellar and count how many bottles you own come from Australia. Considering the country is the 4th largest exporter of wine you probably have quite a few. I have tried a few but nothing I would purchase again.

I bring this up because Australia is in the news right now. The country is suffering from massive wildfires right now. It is said that the death toll could be over 200. People are not the only ones suffering. Animals and their habitats are being destroyed as well.

I ran into a story about the fires that really captured my heart. Pictured above is a fireman giving an injured koala a much needed drink of water. He saw the poor animal crawling along the scorched ground when his fire patrol passed. He stopped to examine the animal and then offered it some water from a bottle. The koala drank out of it nearly like a baby. The firefighter called animal welfare officials and she was rescued. She is supposed to make a full recovery and will be released in a few months.

In all this tragedy it is comforting to stories like these. So open a bottle of Australian wine out of your wine cellar tonight and keep these brave firefighters in your thoughts.
