Wines in Remembrance
Welcome to Wines in Remembrance, where we at Wine & Friends, merge our passion for wine with our commitment to making a positive impact on society.
With the cooperation of bereaved families, an original and moving commemorative project commemorates the martyrs of the IDF on wine bottles bearing their names. In the wake of the murder of civilians on October 7, 2023, we have also joined the commemoration of these deaths at the request of many families.
As part of our unique approach to wine production, we place an emphasis on the blends that bring out the quality of the wine while also paying tribute to the soldiers.
At Wines in Remembrance, we believe that quality should never be compromised, especially when it comes to the people we honor.
That is why we have worked diligently with the families of these fallen soldiers to create wines that not only reflect their character but also embody the remarkable stories of their lives.
