Ubuntu is an african word (Bantu languages of Southern Africa)
Ubuntu :- the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can’t exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can’t be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality – Ubuntu – you are known for your generosity.
So it makes sense for a South African wine maker to choose this as a brand name.
It is a good name and i’m glad to hear it has a good meaning. The operating system isn’t made by Cannonical anymore, it’s made by the community but Cannonical do provide a lot of support and resources for it There are a lot of projects being developed by a lot of people that aren’t funded by Cannonical though and their work is of huge importance. If Cannonical closed down then the OS could continue – just not quite as actively as it does at the moment
Good luck and regards to all from

This was a random stumble, My mom lives in Guelph and told me about this two days ago.

Ubuntu is also a fair trade cola drink in the UK.
“Ubuntu” makes nothing. “Ubuntu” is the name of the distribution. CANONICAL makes Ubuntu.
Not just any wine, good old $10 wine.
