Bert at Winestar (with the help of many others I’m sure) has done an amazing job on organising this. I couldn’t put it any better so, I’ll let him do the talking:

Dear All

The final communication about this.

The events of the past week have touched all Australians and hit home hard for the
wine industry with the tragic death of Rob Davey (of Rob Davey Wine Merchants) his
wife and two young daughters. A number of wineries in Victoria have also suffered
significant property and stock losses. The Australian Wine Trade responds with
generous donations from wineries big and small, including many affected as well as a
number of key online retailers that have supported the cause. All that remains is
for people to buy tickets and spread the word. I appreciate many of you have already
given to the cause, but if you can find it in your heart to give a little more, and
maybe even win some great wines, please do.

I ask that all that have pledged wine, please do not send until advised to do so.
Prizes will be sent direct to winners when they are known

With the haste that this was organised, I appreciate many of you wanted to give but
were unable to due to our time frame. The request now is to support ticket sales and
also let as many people as possible know about this industry effort. Media, website
links, forums, newsletters, word-of-mouth - anything. 

There are no 'paper-tickets' per se but we have arranged 13 of the bigger online
retailers to sell tickets and email all buyers their 'ticket number'. It is
impertaive this email does the rounds.

Full details of time of draw at the link above shortly but it is hoped to have
someone of note draw the prizes.

For now, I cannot express my gratitude enough to those that have contributed. Thank
you.
