Abstract
Purpose: This multi-national investigation examines the extent to which wine businesses are engaged in philanthropy, the types of donations provided, the nature of the recipients, and the amount that wineries are reportedly expending on these activities.
Design/methodology/approach: Researchers in five nations collected quantitative data from 408 wine businesses using an on line questionnaire; descriptive statistics are presented herein.
Findings: A majority of respondents engage in philanthropic pursuits, with minor national differences in participation rates. Respondents report that the number of requests for donations is increasing annually, concomitantly resulting in increased giving. The primary activities are donations of wine and, to a lesser extent, cash donations. Beneficiaries are most likely to be at a local or regional level, and a wide range of organisations are supported.
