LAS VEGAS, NV, May 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- International Spirits and Beverage Group Inc., (a Nevada Corporation) (OTCPK:ISBG) is preparing to expand its newly acquired RWB Ultra Premium Handcrafted Vodka nationally, with a re-launch of it’s award winning, gluten free, craft vodka.
“Both the U.S craft spirit segment and the vodka industry itself continues to show explosive growth. We believe that RWB Vodka allows us to participate in both dynamic categories. We see this brand providing a solid entry as a true, American craft vodka. RWB, standing for “Red, White, and Blue”, takes a patriotic nod to American craft distilling. The craft segment continues to heat up in the industry and we look forward to expanding RWB nationwide,” states Alonzo Pierce, Chairman of ISBG. Winner of the Platinum Award at the 2014 SIP Awards, RWB is distilled from Idaho Katahdin, Kennebeck, Norkoda, and Russet Burbank Potatoes. Heralded for its unique, four-column distillation process and five-stage filtration system, RWB’s renowned smoothness and velvet finish is a 100% gluten-free spirit. Craft spirit growth is now outpacing that of craft beer in the US, registering a CAGR of 13% and 6% respectively.
According to Barron’s, craft spirits could become the hottest alcoholic beverage trend as interest in craft beer wanes. Craft spirits are in a similar position that craft beer was in 15 years ago, with the potential to nab 10% to 20% of market share. As for the US vodka market, vodka sales volumes in 2017 amounted to approximately 71.35 million 9 liter cases. According to the Distilled Spirits Industry Council, vodka accounted for about a third of the entire spirits industry volume that year.
