Liquor Group Executives Chosen in Key Alcohol Beverage Sales Study

January 22, 2010 Jacksonville, FL – Top Executives C. J. Eiras, Lowell Newman and Steven Dodge at Liquor Group were chosen to provide insight and information for an industry gauge study conducted by Allianz Global Investors entitled “Hard Liquor and Spirits Sales in the U.S.” authored by Independent Investment Research Reporter Thuy Tran. The study also drew information and insight from top executives at many of the largest alcohol beverage giants, such as Bacardi, Davide Campari-Milano SpA, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Pernod-Ricard SA & Remy Cointreau.

“The interesting part of reading the final version of the study is that the results and data from the majority of the alcohol industry leaders are diametrically opposed to the results that we are achieving here at Liquor Group…” says Lowell Newman “…in the majority of our territories we are seeing an uptick in sales of no less than double digits for year over year as well as rolling average sales, and in some markets we are achieving triple digit increases.”

The study can be reviewed by visiting Grass Roots Research / RCM Informed.

Columbus Rum Discovers Control States with Liquor Group


January 12, 2010 Jacksonville, FL – Following closely on the successful launch of their Columbus Anejo Rum in the Florida market, Dominican Habitat LLC has expanded their contract with Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. (Publicly Traded:LIQR) to include introduction of the rum to the 18 Control States nationwide. Steve Dodge, Liquor Group's VP for Control State Operations noted that "…the control state roll-out will occur over a period of months as state level product listings are obtained. We anticipate that this high quality product will grow into a major player in the rum category as the number of markets expands."

Columbus Rums are produced in the Dominican Republic by the famed Barceló family using the original family formula that made their rums famous around the world. The Columbus Anejo Rum was recently awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious SIP Awards in Los Angeles CA. The seven year old Columbus Anejo is described as ‘Exceptionally smooth and rich rum in the classic Dominican Republic tradition that can be enjoyed straight up, on the rocks with lime or in your favorite rum cocktail.’

“Working closely with the Barceló family enabled us to bring this high quality rum to market at a very reasonable price point.” says Senior VP Jeff Bryant “...this rum is produced from freshly cut sugar cane and aged in aromatic white oak barrels, giving it a distinctive sweet nose and smooth finish.” Bryant explained that Liquor Group was originally chosen for launching the brand in Florida “…due to their hands on sales and marketing approach that has been successful with other new brands, and their early performance in Florida has encouraged us to take the plunge into the Control State markets. "

Lowell Newman, Liquor Group's VP and Product Manager noted that Columbus Anejo with its high quality and modest price will be strong competition for established brands. "We are looking forward to adding Columbus White, Dorado (gold) and the 25 year Imperial Rum in the near future."

Liquor Group CEO “Tapped” for USA Mutuals Invest Your Knowledge Series


New York, NY – November 19, 2009 – C. J. Eiras, CEO of Liquor Group Wholesale (OTCBB:LIQR) was hand selected by Eric Lansky, CEO of USA Mutuals to speak at the upcoming “Invest Your Knowledge” conference for shareholders and interested investors of its Vice Fund (MUTF:VICEX) on December 9, 2009. USA Mutuals’ Invest Your Knowledge call series features industry experts like Eiras who speak directly to individuals and professional investors so they might gain real-world insights; in this instance with a focus on the current state of the adult beverage industry.

Also participating on the call is Dr. Marcin Kacperczyk, Professor of Finance at New York University, co-author of the award-winning “The Price of Sin: The Effects of Social Norms on Markets”.

Liquor Group* continues to gain recognition as one of the fastest growing alcohol distribution companies in the USA, recently spreading its breadth of territory to 32 states.

The company recently acquired privately held alcohol distribution/brokerages in Illinois and Iowa, and intends to continue acquisitions capturing/controlling distribution/brokerage licenses in as many states as are available.

“I am honored to be chosen to speak; Mr. Lansky has many options available for other speakers, I will do my best to provide meaningful insight on the current state of the adult beverage marketplace.” says Eiras.

Martinifest - Florida's Largest Martini Party!

Liquor Group Products a Hit at Jacksonville Martinifest!

November 18, 2009 - This year's Jacksonville Martinifest drew more than 3000 thirsty revelers to sample a multitude of adult beverage products at the riverside Jacksonville Football Stadium. Liquor Group products dominated the top floor of the show with a wide array of products offered at a number of tables. The SurReal Vodka line from Latvia was extremely popular with the crowds and received a nod as "best tasting cocktail" for a blend of SurReal Red Berry Crème Vodka and Cranberry juice. Hawaii's organic ultra-premium Ocean Vodka was one of the fastest moving brands with drinkers flocking to sample from the tropical themed bottles. A new addition to the Liquor Group portfolio that made an appearance at the show was McCulloch's American Vodka represented by Rob McCulloch whose family has been distilling in Ohio since the late 1800's. Many of the vodkas offered at the show were mixed with high quality Weis Liqueurs from the Black Forest region of Germany. In addition to Vodkas the Liquor Group tables also offered the recently introduced Columbus Anejo Rum, a seven year old sipping rum produced in the Dominican Republic by the famed Barcelo family, and Fat Ass Tequila Blanco a ultra-premium tequila that is taking the Florida market by storm. Probably the most unusual new products offered by Liquor Group at this year's Martinifest were the Whipped Lightning line of alcohol infused flavored whipped creams that topped many of the evening's favorite libations.

Liquor Group Wholesale Expands Old St. Andrews Scotch Whisky Portfolio



November 12, 2009 - Jacksonville FL Florida based importer and distribution network Liquor Group Wholesale, Inc. (OTCBB: LIQR) has added four new products to its portfolio of Scotch Whiskys produced by Old St. Andrews Whisky. Additions to the popular Clubhouse Blend line with its iconic Golf Ball shaped bottles include a Tumbler Pack offering a single Clear Glass 50ml packed inside a fine etched Whisky Tumbler, perfect as a holiday "stocking stuffer" or small gift, and a new Par 4 White Glass 50ml bottle in a size matching the traditional clear glass minis that have been so popular around the world. Both bottlings contain the same highly rated blended whisky (90/100 points from Jim Murray in his 2006 Whisky Bible!) as earlier items in the line and are available in cases of 36. A completely new extension of the Old St. Andrews family of whiskys is the "Whisky Barrel 10 Year Malt Scotch Whisky," a vatted malt with a blend of single malts dominated by an excellent Speyside. The 750ml and 50ml barrel shaped bottles with photo labels showing 19th century coopers are sure to be a hit with Scotch Whisky lovers everywhere as is the rich and smooth whisky inside.

Liquor Group Product Manager Lowell Newman remarked that he was "thrilled to get these new items in stock just in time for the holiday season. Quantities of the Whisky Barrel and Clubhouse Tumbler Pack are quite limited and we anticipate that there will be a quick sell-out in the Florida market where they will first be introduced."
