Win $10,000 towards your ‘Green Idea’ with Yealands Estate

Yealands Estate wines are offering customers the chance to submit their best green ideas and be in to win cash and other great prizes.

Using a unique code from specially marked bottles of wine from the Yealands Estate portfolio, shoppers can submit their ideas online, with one lucky winner receiving $10,000.

A second prize will be offered for the most creative green idea submitted. The winner, judged by Peter Yealands, will receive an exclusive trip for two to the winery including a tasting and sustainability tour with the Yealands Estate team.

“Yealands Estate is committed to producing great wines that anyone can enjoy, while significantly reducing the environmental impact. We’ve designed this promotion to celebrate creative solutions to environmental issues,” says Lisa Parslow, Yealands Estate Brand Manager.

“Green ideas can come from anyone or anywhere, and can be as simple as turning off the light when you leave the room or as complicated as developing new biofuels.”

Until April 29th shoppers will be able to purchase specially marked bottles of Yealands Estate wine, retrieve the on-pack unique code and use this to enter the competition online at www.facebook.com/yealandsestate

All entries will go in the draw to win the $10,000 cash, with Peter Yealands selecting the most creative idea for the private tour.

Yealands Estate wines are available at all good liquor outlets and supermarkets.
