V-Net and Meritage Wine Brokerage Enter into an Agreement for Herbal Wines - BusinessWire
AMERICANS DRINK MORE WINE AS PRICE FALLS Copyright 2004 XINHUA NEWS AGENCY.
LOS ANGELES -- Americans are drinking more wine than before, consuming upward of 22 billion US dollars of wine annually, Los Angeles Times reported this week.
Citing figures from the Wine Institute, the trade association for California's vintners, the paper said the average American of drinking age consumed about 3 gallons, roughly 15 standard bottles, of wine last year.
Last year, US wine consumption rose 5.2 percent -- its biggest surge since 1996. At the same time, beer drinking fell 0.3 percent, Tiziana Mohorovic, an analyst at Adams Beverage Group, told the paper.
When the numbers are in for this year, Mohorovic expects wine to post at least a 4 percent gain, once again outpacing other alcoholic beverages.
Industrial experts attributed the increased consumption of wine to falling prices.
The advent of wines such as the 1.99 dollar Charles Shaw label and the ubiquitous 6.99 dollar Yellowtail brand from Australia has contributed to lower wine prices and is reorienting the industry's marketing efforts, the paper said.
Though US consumption is at an all-time high, just 12.5 percent of adults drink 86 percent of the wine purchased in America, the paper quoted figures from the Wine Market Council, a trade group.
Despite the increase in consumption, the Americans are not the biggest wine drinkers in the world. The French and Italians drink much more than the Americans do. By comparison, Italians drink about 70 bottles annually on average and the British tipple about 23. _________________ If what you did yesterday isn't working, change it!!!!

V-Net Beverages Issues ''Truth in Ginseng'' Challenge to Beverage Industry Wednesday January 19, 1:57 pm ET
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2005--V-Net Beverage, Inc. (Other OTC:VNTB.PK - News) is launching a nationwide "Truth in Ginseng" campaign. The purpose is threefold: to urge industry-wide full-disclosure in ginseng labeling, to support stringent testing and authentication of ginseng products, and to educate consumers about beverages proclaiming "ginseng" on the bottle or can. As Robert Corr, president of V-Net put it, "It's been 27 years since I created the first ginseng soft-drink of modern times and rekindled nationwide interest in this extraordinary herb. Nowadays, store shelves are laden with drinks, such as Coca-Cola's Full Throttle(TM), PepsiCo's SoBe(TM) line, Anheuser Busch's B-E(TM) and others that denote "ginseng" on their labels. The questions remain: how much and what type of ginseng root do these beverages contain, of what potency and where grown? After two decades of playing games, it's time for the beverage industry to be upfront with consumers about ginseng. V-Net has shown the way."
Corr noted the federal Farm Bill 2002 corrects the confusion arising from application of the term "ginseng" to Eleutherococcus senticosus (so-called Siberian ginseng, "Eleuthero"). The new law establishes that "ginseng" shall apply only to plants of the genus Panax. There are eight Panax species, but only two, Panax ginseng (Chinese ginseng) and Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng) are used commercially. Eleutherococcus sells for under $2.00/lb whereas American ginseng root trades for $25.00/lb.
"At V-Net, we use quality Wisconsin-grown American Ginseng root (Panax quinquefolius) exclusively in our beverages," said Bob Corr. "We shun foreign-grown ginseng because only Wisconsin has strict laws regulating growing and processing of ginseng. Strict oversight guarantees Wisconsin ginseng does not have harmful pesticide residues. In December, the FDA seized Asian-grown ginseng tainted by a cancer-causing fungicide (quintozene), banned for crops in the United States but used elsewhere. Not only is Asian-grown ginseng suspect. Quintozene is legal in Canada, a major ginseng exporter." (http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/2004/ANS01334.html)
V-Net currently markets three ginseng beverages: Ginseng Rush(TM), Ginseng Rush XXX(TM) and Rush Herbal Cola(TM). Each 12 oz. bottle of Ginseng Rush contains 5 ml. American Ginseng extract. V-Net's extract is made by blending one full pound of American Ginseng dry root into one gallon of a water/alcohol mixture. Ginseng Rush XXX and Rush Herbal Cola contain 15 ml. and 3.8 ml. of this ginseng extract, respectively.
"The consumer has no idea of the quality or quantity of ginseng used in beverages of our major competitors," said Corr. "Hypothetically, they could take one drop of our ginseng extract and add it to a bathtub full of water. They could then take one drop from that bathtub, add it to their beverage, and write "ginseng" on the container in bold letters. To make matters worse, they could be using foreign-grown ginseng. Naturally, we have full faith they are following the law and using real ginseng and not "Eleuthero". With Ginseng Rush and Ginseng Rush XXX, our label tells how much ginseng is in the bottle and where it's from. We're proud of that."

Buy If! Is this finally a good time to buy? Well, it depends. First check what happened at after hours trading and future values. Then, follow the next session very carefully and be on your toes. This candlestick pattern is a bullish one, but we have to see whether it will be confirmed or not.
Do you see a gap-up at the market open? Do you see a white candlestick forming with a higher close at the session's end? Shortly, is it a nice bullish day? If so, place your buy orders and open new long positions. The market is now on the bull side.
1/24/2005 - V-Net Beverage has condemned the drinks industry’s lack of transparency about its use of ginseng and is launching a ‘Truth in Ginseng’ campaign which it hopes will force manufacturers to reveal full information about herbal content on the label, reports Jess Halliday.
The company plans to submit a number of rival beverages purporting to contain ginseng - such as Coca-Cola's Full Throttle and PepsiCo's SoBe – to the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) test to determine the quantity, potency, species and origin of the ginseng used.

Anniversary Letter to Shareholders from Robert Corr, President of V-Net Beverage
January 28, 2005 10:57:00 (ET)
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Jan 28, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- V-Net Beverage, Inc. (Pink Sheets: VNTB-News):
Dear Shareholders:
On 27 January 2004, I took charge of V-Net Beverage, Inc. as new president. Armed with over thirty years of experience in the natural beverage industry, I came to V-Net with the goal of transforming it into a profitable and respected company capable of delivering to consumers healthful and innovative products. In just one year, the company has made remarkable strides in positioning itself toward that end.
1) Our three popular selling products--Ginseng Rush(TM), Ginseng Rush XXX(TM) and Rush Herbal Cola(TM)--continue to obtain new placements in the marketplace. Thus, we expect a momentous 2005 as sales further accelerate.
2) V-Net's commitment to genuine ginseng and honest marketing of this extraordinary herb is evinced by our publicized "Truth in Ginseng Challenge." At V-Net we use pure Wisconsin-grown American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), in advertised quantities, in our beverages. Other brands tout ginseng on their labels. We are testing their claims by employing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) on sample beverages. These tests will specify quantity, potency, species and origin of the ginseng they use, if any. We believe consumers should be alerted to brands with specious ginseng claims or little to no ginsenoside (ginseng's active ingredient).
Long revered in the Orient for its homeostatic and restorative properties, ginseng is just beginning to reveal its secrets to modern science. For example, in research conducted at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and funded by National Cancer Institute and U.S. Department of Defense, ginseng has demonstrated remarkable abilities to slow growth of cancer cells and defeat cancer-cell resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs.
The public's rush to ginseng is prompting V-Net to launch its own label of high-potency ginseng capsules and extract, all with 10% certified ginsenoside content, in the first quarter 2005.
3) We continue with development of Allimax Nutraceutical Water(TM) and endeavor to produce a completely stabilized drink. It is targeted for production first quarter 2005. As more studies confirm garlic's role in relieving cold symptoms and defeating a broad range of microbes, we are also pursuing other means to meet the demand for allicin, garlic's active ingredient. These include allicin capsules and allicin extract on our own label.
4) In 2004, we partnered with Fire Mountain Beverages (Pink Sheets: FRBV) to provide additional marketing and product distribution for V-Net's products on the west coast. FRBV currently sells flavored vitamin-water at thousands of locations. The arrangement will expand V-Net's marketing base for its specialty beverages, including allicin and electrolyte waters.
5) V-Net has recognized an exciting opportunity in the herb-infused wine category. We have therefore purchased a 5% stake in California's Meritage Wine Brokerage, a thriving full-service importer & distributor of fine wines from around the world. In this way, V-Net establishes a foothold in the licensed and regulated U.S. wine market. V-Net, which supplies Meritage with botanicals for their herb-infused specialty wines, has an option to purchase an additional 35% of the wine brokerage.
6) V-Net has inked an agreement with Micro Labs (OTC-BB: MLAR), developer of a patented sublingual spray delivery system which promises 90% nutrient retention rate. Under the agreement, V-Net will develop and supply botanicals, like allicin and ginseng, to Micro Labs as new items in the sublingual spray product line.
7) We are forging an agreement with Gray's Brewing Co., Janesville, WI to develop jointly ROCK HARD RUSH(TM), a pleasant tasting ginseng- and botanical-infused malt beverage. This product is expected to compete toe-to-toe with Budweiser's B-E(TM) by Anheuser Busch.
8) V-Net has received broad USPTO Class-32 Trademark Application protection for its new e-Water(TM), a specialty water charged with 70-plus dissolved colloidal electrolytes, derived from a unique fulvic-acid enriched mineral source in Utah. Fulvic acid is an organic acid which binds to crucial trace-mineral ions and renders them bio-available. It also helps remove harmful heavy metals and "free radicals" from bodily systems, and balances and energizes cell life. We look forward to bringing this exciting item to market in the near term. We intend to expand upon our electrolyte 'e' line of beverages. e-Water(TM) is only our first entry in this genre.
9) V-Net is growing. We are adding staff to develop efficiencies in distribution and marketing systems and to strategically grow our brands. Our relationship with our master distributor has been strengthened over the last few months, and we are working to add new channels of distribution.
I extend my appreciation to our loyal shareholders for their support, and will make myself available, when possible, for your salient comments and suggestions.
Stay with us in 2005. It's going to be an exciting year for V-Net. Robert J. Corr, President, V-Net Beverages, Inc.

V-Net Beverage Readies Early March Production Of e-Water
February 23, 2005 12:34:00 (ET)
BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Feb 23, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- V-Net Beverage, Inc. (Pink Sheets: VNTB.PK) has scheduled a full-production run of new e-Water(TM) for the first week of March 2005 in Illinois. e-Water(TM) is a boldly innovative bottled water containing over 70 electrolytes activated with Fulvic acid. To facilitate national coverage, California production of e-Water(TM) will commence in April, with production in Florida planned for summer 2005.
According to V-Net president Robert Corr, "We think it not an overstatement to say, 'V-Net has re-invented water.' Our e-Water(TM) has been in development for some time, and we are delighted to add this fabulous product to V-Net's stable of functional beverages--which includes Ginseng Rush, Ginseng Rush XXX and Rush Herbal Cola. With its super-refreshing taste, catchy name and unmatched array of bio-available nutrients, including critical trace minerals, consumers will find lots of good reasons to 'e-Vitalize' by stocking up on e-Water(TM)"
Corr noted that e-Water(TM) marks the debut of V-Net's first fully owned non-licensed beverage. "With the introduction of e-Water(TM) this Spring to be followed by a bevy of wholly-owned V-Net products, we anticipate greater margins and potential profits to redound to the company and its shareholders for 2005."
e-Water(TM) consists of a blend of spring water, 70-plus ionic electrolytes and Fulvic acid. A 20 fl.oz. bottle contains 9% of magnesium's R.D.A. Fulvic acid is an organic humic acid that plays a crucial role in the earth's plant and animal ecology by supplying key electrolytes to cells, scavenging "free radicals" and heavy metals, and restoring cellular electrical balance--among other studied benefits. Ancient Chinese medical texts from the Ming Dynasty describe fulvic acid as "wujinsan" or "golden medicine" It is known that vitalizing waters from streams and rivers running through forested land contain dissolved Fulvic acid.
V-Net will introduce e-Water(TM) at the upcoming Anaheim EXPO-WEST (March 18-20). The show attracts over 36,000 trade-only attendees from more than 80 countries. www.newhope.com/mainpage/press1.cfm
V-Net will announce next week the status of its Allimax Water project.

Today: Corr continued, "V-Net's caution regarding Allisure(R) has been a blessing in disguise and saved our company tens of thousands of dollars in bottling and distribution costs, not to mention the unpleasantness of a product recall.
Our new product thus solves the shelf-life and allicin-potency issues attendant to Allimax Nutraceutical Water! Have you considered? How much cheaper to display and distribute along with more versatility for the consumer. Use any drink you like for consumption!!

Water pure and simple is a trendy commodity and the source of a thriving $46 billion market. In some countries, the bottled variety has eclipsed beer consumption, and it is moving relentlessly to overtake carbonated soft drinks as the world's No.1 beverage.
"Bottled water is like the mobile phone it's become a fashion accessory," said Simon Wessely, an epidemiologist and professor of psychological medicine who recently explored the impact of bottled water marketing in the British Medical Journal. "There's been this kind of anthropological change. What is it for? For safety? I don't know why it is that people walk the street and come to meetings with their bottled water."
The competition is fierce to convince the parched that a particular bottled water deserves to be a constant companion. The market is dominated by four giants with competition from hundreds of regional brands.
e-Water Pure water enhanced with electrolytes & fulvic acid
e-Water goes into production March 15th. Samples will be available later this week at Expo West 2005, the world's largest and most influentional natural and organic products event.
Our President is meeting in France with a bottling company to discuss distribution of V-Net products across the entire European continent.
