Sit Stay Society wines has launched three new half bottle varieties to raise money for PetRescue's free adoption programs and services.
Fifty cents of each bottle of the wines sold will help save the lives of pets in need.
The wines are Ruby's Rosé, Violet's Grner Veltliner and Mario's Mataro Montepulciano.
PetRescue is a national animal welfare charity with a vision of a future where every pet is safe, respected and loved.
Every day, the not-for-profit organisation delivers free pet search and adoption services to thousands of pet seekers.
Since the PetRescue website launched in 2004, it's been the first connection for 651,840 rescue pets and their new families.
PetRescue co-founder and joint CEO Vickie Davy said she was thrilled that Sit Stay Society launched three new varieties to help pets in crisis.
"Since the range launched last year, it's been incredibly popular and has raised much-needed funds to help rescue pets find a new, loving home," she said.
"Last year the donations from Sit Stay Society contributed to PetRescue's national fundraising efforts helping 71,933 pets to be adopted, $731,167 worth of food to be donated directly to rescue organisations, 13 free Jetpets flights to transport pets to their new home and 7,423 calls for help to be resolved.

"With more than 100,000 pets still killed in pounds and shelters in Australia every year, it's heartening to see that pet lovers who enjoy a nice glass of wine can also be supporting a future where every pet is safe, respected and loved," she said.
The 375 ml bottles of wine are available exclusively through Dan Murphy's and BWS.
Head of merchandise for BWS Pedro Da Costa said that since Sit Stay Society launched last year, they had received great feedback.
"We received such fantastic feedback, we decided to extend the range," he said
"Now pet lovers who enjoy a refreshing glass of rosé, a crisp Grner Veltliner or a delicious glass of Mataro Montepulciano, can help raise further funds to find homes for these pets."
Sourced from the Clare Valley in South Australia, a wine region renowned for its award-winning wines,Sit Stay Society pays homage to our best friends.
Ruby's Rosé features a regally bejewelled Moodle label design, Violet's Grner Veltliner features a perky Schnauzer and Mario's Mataro Montepulciano features a dapper greyhound.
Ruby's Rosé is full of juicy cherry and strawberry notes with a crisp palate through to a long finish with vibrant acidity.
Violet's Grner Veltliner is aromatic with florals, spices and hints of pear with a wet stone backing and a crisp, mouth-watering finish.
Mario's Mataro Montepulciano shows luscious flavours of dark berries balanced by spicy hints of cedary oak and long lingering tannins.
"The half-bottles are great for mid-week drinks and for weekend gatherings with friends when you prefer a glass without opening a full bottle," said Pedro.
