It's no secret that I'm a fan of all of the great apes, and I like a nice glass (or three) of wine almost as much. So it was a pleasure to find out that now I can indulge my love of grapes, and apes with the Orangutan Outreach Red Apes Wine.

It's the perfect way to donate to a great charity!

Despite the name, Red Apes Wine comes in red and white flavors: five Chilean varietals -- sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and merlot -- plus a sparkling Spanish cava.

Orangutan Outreach teamed up with Custom Grapes to create the wines, which cost $19.99 per bottle. Seven dollars of each bottle goes directly to Orangutan Outreach's work to save and protect the endangered red apes in Indonesia.

You can buy the wines -- they make a great gift for the wine or animal lover in your life -- here from Grape Surfer, "America's Charity Wine Shop".

I love the group's suggestion that you plan a benefit around the wines, like a holding a wine-tasting event with proceeds benefiting great apes conservation.

Okay, who's ready to try all six with me?
