How Wine Bottles Are Used To Help Cold Case Victims

By Janet White


Just last year, 2016, a non profit organization was able to make a move of brining light to a variety of cases that are no longer being paid focus on by the people. Not only were they able to do this, but what is surprising is the way in way they did so. It was a way that has been done in the past through milk cartons, but theirs was placed on a different beverage.

The CCIRI or Cold Case Investigative Research is an organization which was started by Sheryl McCollum in the year 2004. They have volunteers who investigate as well as assist people and family members who may have been victims of a variety of crimes. Last year, what they did was develop wine bottles where they placed information about cold case victims, people who are already forgotten by many.

The target of their crusade is to put thoughtfulness regarding an assortment of cases which have been overlooked, through wine labels. They at present are in connection with Benefit Wines, the company who deliver the wines and labels. In light of the quantity of individuals who are slanted to buy and drink wines, they have considered it to be an awesome route to spread mindfulness.

Because they have been in this industry for long already, they are aware how cork boards and wall and post fliers fail to capture the attention of most civilians. This is the reason why they created the wine labels as they know that there is more interest on something that is new and regularly used and consumed. They know that more eyes and ears on a case mean a higher probability of being able to solve it.

The wine names would likewise bear names or depictions, as well as the photos of case casualties. They are in like manner refreshed all the time so that individuals who might see them will be a great deal more acquainted with the casualties. The authorization to utilize pictures and data were solicited from the relatives from casualties.

As mentioned, this is not an entirely new concept, although the product used is quite different from what was used before. This is in view of the concept which was created in the 1980s where pictures of missing children were printed on milk cartons. However, it was pulled out since there were a lot of parents who complained that their children were scared of the photos on their milks.

In the new world were technology is slowly taking control, McCollum suggests that the campaign is effective in catching the attention of many individuals. Many are no longer inclined to reading the morning paper or listening to the radio because they spend most of their time online, mostly in social media. She sees that this is a new way that people would be interested in especially since it is not an everyday sight.

Currently, there are six types of wines which are carrying the said labels, namely the malbec, carmenere, sauvignon blanc, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and chardonnay. They are produced and imported from Lontue Valley in Chile. They could be purchased on the internet for more or less twenty dollars while there likewise are packages available for collectors.

These containers are not just for mindfulness, also. Note that 6 dollars from every deal or sale is allotted for CCIRI. It is a path to cover their examination costs and in addition, to help casualties relatives.
