Support Kiwi Not-for-profits with a Glass of Wine

Two years ago, Chef and Kiwi entrepreneur, Al Brown, embarked on a journey into the world of wine with the creation of Tipping Point Wines, which aims to do good and taste great with each varietal supporting a different not-for-profit organisation in New Zealand. 

“From day one this project has been about creating a wine that celebrates all of the things that are close to my heart – our regions, our land and bringing people we love together for a bite of something delicious to eat washed down with a decent drop” - Al Brown.  

Tipping Point has been crafted from the ground up to embrace New Zealand’s genuine, no-fuss lifestyle. From being on board and helping with each vintage, to the distinctive bottle shape and convivial labels, Al Brown’s love for informality shines through every aspect. 

“There is a strange formality around drinking wine and selecting the perfect bottle. I wanted to remove this completely from Tipping Point. Anyone can drink these wines, any time. At the end of the day, it’s just that, a very drinkable drop and each varietal fits well with our relaxed Kiwi spirit.”  

Tipping Point wines support five organisations that are working hard to create a better future for New Zealand: The Bumble Bee Conservation Trust, Sea Cleaners, Kea Conservation Trust, Wilding Free Mackenzie and Southern Seabirds.

The addition of Southern seabirds is a new partnership as part of the launch of the new Prosecco D.O.C, just in time for what’s set to be a cracker kiwi summer. Al’s adventure took him to the home of Prosecco D.O.C, Northeast Italy to collaborate with Italian winemakers to develop a light, crisp, crowd-pleasing Prosecco; perfect for the kiwi palate. Featuring hints of pear and golden apple with a signature tingle to finish, it's fun in a bottle. So go on, gather friends around, pop the cork then ‘serve & protect’.
