Entre plaisir et générosité
This the title of an article describing how a hotel group generate funds by the sale of their wine and donate this money to humanitarian causes. I am looking for a succinct way of translating this. Between pleasure and generosity seems weird to me, but I am not very inspired right now! Anyone got any good ideas? Many thanks in advance.
