Remember harvest festival at school?
Tins of soup, out-of-date tuna and half-opened bags of pasta stacked sky-high in a gaudy Autumnal display in the assembly hall.
Well, the humble harvest festival has had a grown-up revamp – and now you can get wine in return for your tinned goods.
For the entire month of October, urban winery Vagabond in Battersea, London, is running #TheWineSwapShop, and all you have to do is bring in tins or any dried food, and in return you’ll get a complimentary glass of wine. Result.
And you can bring any old tin of beans for a delicious glass of vino – finest, luxury tins or Sainsbury’s basic – anything goes. So have a look in the back of your cupboards to see what you’re willing to part with.
The brilliant news is that every tin is being donated to local food banks – so you can feel slightly virtuous as you down your free glass.
Vagabond hand picks the grapes for their wine in Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire, offering guests an innovative way to try wine, through a press of a button throughout their six stores.
Harvest season begins on 21 September and runs until mid-October. So now is the perfect time to clear out the cupboards and ring in the new season with a delicious glass of wine.
But if you’re thinking a six-pack of beans will get you a bottle, don’t bother. It’s one glass of wine per customer – but obviously, if you have more food to spare then do bring it, the food banks will thank you.
