Asahi Rela Wine Giveaway

On its wine club website, Asahi is featuring three wines from its サントネージュ株式会社 subsidiary. There is no English translation, but it looks like it stands for something like "Saint Snow Winery" and is located in Yamanashi. In any case, 30 members of the Asahi online wine club will receive three bottles of wine (red, rose, white) which are sold under the Rela line and are said to be good for a relaxing, casual time.

Looking around on the internet, Saint Snow wines are said to be known for being organic and not having added antioxidants.
