One-hour alcohol delivery system expands

A service that allows consumers to order spirits, wine or beer to be delivered to their door in less than an hour is expanding across the US.

More US consumers have order alcohol to be delivered in under an hour as a start-up business expands

After successfully completing a US$1.8 million, New York start-up company Minibar will extend its operations to Chicago and San Francisco.

Available on web, iOS, and Android, Minibar connects users with local vendors based on their address. Consumers can choose from drinks available in their local liquor store which can then be delivered in under an hour.

First launched in February this year, Minibar also offers pairing recommendations, cocktail recipes, tasting notes and a gift service.

“We are incredibly excited to expand our national reach and offer consumers a new way to purchase and enjoy wine, spirits and beer in San Francisco and Chicago,” said Lara Crystal, Minibar co-founder and joint CEO.

“With a combination of an incredible tech and cocktail culture, Minibar will undoubtedly resonate in both markets with our incredible selection, excellent service and intuitive user experience.”
