You may have noticed the rather long-necked star of our homepage promotional banners for May, licking a bottle of the Western Cape’s finest. This is Leila, the adopted giraffe and mascot of Long Neck Wines, from South Africa.

Leila has been hand-raised by zoo staff in the modern East London Zoo on South Africa’s east coast. An infant of a few days old on arrival, she stood a mere 1.6m tall. Today she is nearly seven years old and stands almost 4.5m in height. Leila is very gentle, affectionate and approachable and particularly enjoys being scratched behind her ears.

Now we’re offering you the chance to adopt your own giraffe in our June contest! This is Leila’s little brother Curious and we’re desperately seeking a good home for him. He comes complete with adoption certificate and a few bottles of Long Neck to celebrate the new arrival.

How to Enter: All you have to do to enter the contest is join (or already be a member of) our monthly newsletter. We’ll draw a winner at random on the 3rd of June when our next newsletter goes out, and deliver Curious the adopted giraffe and three of his Long Neck friends to you the day after (or whenever you’d like) free of charge. You are of course completely welcome to un-join the minute after the draw is done, but we like giving discounts and free stuff to our members, so we hope you’ll stick around!

PS: Congrats to the winner of the May contest, Dolores Casey, who was drawn this morning!
