Do-gooder Buy of the Month

Cru Vin Dogs is an Englewood-based wine company with a social conscience. The small, dedicated staff offers quality, affordable wines from vineyards worldwide and donates a portion of the sale proceeds to dog-related charities such as Canine Companions for Independence and the Morris Animal Foundation, which supports companion animals. Each bottle has a label featuring a hand-drawn illustration of a pooch with a special story. $26 gets you a nice pour of Cabernet-Syrah, a collectable bottle, and a hand in bettering the plight of pups who might otherwise be forgotten. www.cruvindogs.com
