New wines debuting at all Duplin locations on Armed Forces Day
May 18 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Duplin Winery and Folds of Honor partnering on two new wines to honor U.S. Armed Forces & First Responders
Duplin Winery, the South’s oldest & largest winery, is proud to announce two new wines dedicated to the bravest of the brave: our nation’s Armed Forces and First Responders. Duplin will donate $1 for every bottle of these two new wines sold to Folds of Honor, an organization that provides life-changing scholarships to the children and spouses of our nation’s fallen and disabled heroes.
Made with America’s own Muscadine grapes grown on cherished family farms, Armed Forces Red salutes every veteran, active-duty personnel and fallen U.S. service member. This bold, sweet wine full of heart is an expression of their unwavering valor and steadfast dedication.
First Responders White is another truly distinctive Muscadine wine honoring the incredible firefighters, police officers and medical professionals who carry out split-second, life-saving decisions with boundless courage and compassion. This generously sweet yet graceful blend embodies their unceasing selflessness.
“All of us at Duplin Winery are filled with immense pride as we stand alongside Folds of Honor. Together, we can make a difference and show our gratitude to American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and safety,” Duplin co-owner Dave Fussell Jr. said. “By investing in the education of military and first-responder families, we invest in dreams and aspirations, making our collaboration with Folds of Honor an absolute blessing.”
Since its establishment in 2007, Folds of Honor has granted an astounding 52,000 scholarships.
“Folds of Honor is proud to team up with Duplin Winery,” the organization’s CEO and founder, Lt. Col. Dan Rooney said. “We believe the partnership will be a force multiplier to the mission and awareness of Folds of Honor and increase scholarship funding to the families of American military and first-responder heroes. Together we will meet sacrifice with hope.”
Duplin will release both wines on Armed Forces Day, May 18, during Honoring Our Heroes events from noon to 4 p.m. at the winery’s locations in Rose Hill, N.C., North Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Panama City Beach, Fla. Anyone who buys cases of either Armed Forces Red or First Responders White, $14.99 each, or mixed cases of the wines, will receive a bonus Duplin T-shirt for just $5 with each case. Plus, veteran and active-duty service members always enjoy a 15% military discount on all wines, merchandise and events.
