Little Ripples wines is on a mission.
Not only is it winning accolades as a delicious drop but it’s also changing the world for the better.
Founded by Dustin Leonard, Little Ripples made a pledge that for every bottle it sold, it would provide one year of clean drinking water to one person in a developing community.

Its goal is to provide five million people with clean drinking water in 10 years and, with the help of its happy wine-drinkers, it’s already well on the way.
Of course, the brand isn’t achieving this without providing delicious wine, much of which also has the added bonus of being zero grams of sugar per serving.

It’s also low in carbs and, with grapes coming from Australia’s best regions, including Barossa, Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra, wine drinkers are raising a glass to world class wine that’s also making a positive impact in the world.
“Little Ripples Sauvignon Blanc tastes fabulous!” said one of Little Ripples 2,000-plus five star reviews.
“Just the right balance of sweet crisp flavours! I love being able to select a wine that’s not only great for me, with no sugar, but contributes to water security for people in developing countries!”
Another said: “I have drunk the same wine for 20 years and never changed until I have tasted your Sav Blanc. It’s light and delicious. I have recommended this wine to all my friends and family.”

Drinkers have also gone online to say the Little Ripples wine doesn’t leave them feeling groggy the next day.
“I love this wine! I suffer from bad headaches and I’ve finally found something delicious that doesn’t give me one! Very happy!” said one of many of these kinds of reviews.
“Having allergies to sulphur and other dietary issues, I can honestly say I have no reaction whatsoever to this wine! I’m loving drinking wine again. Thanks!” said another.

The added benefit of helping others with water simply by drinking wine is an obvious draw for many too.
“To know it ‘does good’ in the world makes this an even more appealing wine, and one which I would drink every week! I’m very impressed,” said one happy customer.
“I was impressed with the ethos behind Little Ripples and was attracted by no sugar. I did not expect the great taste and quality of this Rose though. I am loving it and will definitely be purchasing more. Well done Little Ripples!” said another.
To date, Little Ripples has funded the construction of 50 water wells through its water charity partner, the BridgIT Water Foundation.
It’s the equivalent of providing more than 500,000 people with one year of clean drinking water and has earned Little Ripples the title of Best Socially Conscious Brand in 2023.
