BeatBox Beverages
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
BeatBox Beverages was founded with the belief that boxed wine doesn’t have to be boring. We were tired of all those standard boxed wines, and we knew there was an opportunity to create a better mixed drink experience for people who know what perfection in a box should look and taste like.
There’s no better feeling than having that perfect song play through the speakers that just sums up the way you feel at that moment. We’re passionate music fans, too.
So, we designed BeatBox around music and with that euphoric feeling in mind. To us, it’s not just a drink – it’s an experience.
BeatBox comes in a sharable 5L box and is best served chilled and with friends. So get out there and laugh with old friends, make some new ones, and live life the way it’s supposed to be lived – with your eyes and ears open..
