In many ways, Vintage Roots shows how the United Kingdom is heading things when it comes to social entrepreneurship. Like many of the businesses that SocialBusiness.org has profiled in the past few years, this company has been around for a while. Founded in 1986 through something called the 'The Enterprise Allowance Scheme,' this organic wine merchant was a labor of love. That is to say, it didn't start as a desire to place it self in (or around) the growing industry -- and buzz word almost -- of social entrepreneurship but rather, simply a desire to great a socially good business that they could all equality enjoy. Wine was the answer.
As the go-to for organic wine in the UK, the company offers delivery of certified products. Their YouTube channel includes some wine variety explanations and testing videos.
