Water for Wine

Through Memorial Day, bring a case of bottled water (16-20 ounces each) to Johnny's Red Bowl and you can buy a bottle of wine at "Water Into Wine" prices -- "ultra-wholesale," as chief operating officer Sean McCormack puts it. The water will be donated to the Charlotte USO to be distributed to military service people.

Among McCormack's picks among the offerings are Paul Dolan Vineyards' Mendocino Pinot Noir -- usually $50 (and $15 by the glass), its Water Into Wine price is $10 -- a Bastianich Rose, sold normally for $40, going for $8; and a Canyon Road Pinot Noir, usually $31, going for $5. 10822 Providence Road; 704-814-7777.
