WhatB次元官网网址檚 better than a glass of wine at the end of the day?

Not much, really. But what if you could drink wine, save the bears and donate money to the BC SPCA all in one go?

The Bear, a Pinot Gris-style wine from Prince GeorgeB次元官网网址檚 Northern Lights Estate Winery, does just that.

The wine is made using surplus apples from local properties that could otherwise attract bears into urban areas or peopleB次元官网网址檚 yards.

The winery will also donate $2 from each bottle sold to the BC SPCA.

As bears venture more and more into populated areas, said BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell said, itB次元官网网址檚 extra important that a fed bear doesnB次元官网网址檛 become a dead bear.

B次元官网网址淎s urban development expands into wild animal habitats, bear encounters have become a normal part of life, with tragic consequences for the bears,B次元官网网址� he said.

B次元官网网址淥ver time, bears may lose their natural fear of people and start to associate people with food. Sadly, hundreds of B次元官网网址榩roblemB次元官网网址� bears end up being killed by conservation officers in B.C. every year.B次元官网网址�

The SPCA recommends that people collect ripe or fallen fruit, and secure garbage, compost, outside pet food storage, outdoor fridges, bee hives and chicken coops.
