BAXUS, the pioneer marketplace enabling wine and whiskey enthusiasts to buy, sell and trade rare, vintage wines and spirits, today announced the acquisition of BoozApp. The App has democratized the U.S. liquor industry with data on tens of thousands of unique bottles and already over 100,000 users on the platform, becoming the top destination for any consumer that wants to ensure they are paying fair prices for their bottles. BoozApp tracks and utilizes user’s personal bars and their future purchases wishlist, including the individual price per bottle and total value of the bar.
We’re thrilled to acquire BoozApp. We have seen a significant increase in the global wines and spirits market, which will be worth $1.2T by 2030. The COVID pandemic also increased demand on everything from digital platforms like Drizly, to thousands of mom-and-pop liquor stores across the country. Together with BoozApp, we are aiming reaching a larger audience: casual drinkers, liquor buyers, collectors with diverse preferences, and industry enthusiasts.
Tzvi Wiesel, Co-Founder and CEO of BAXUS
This acquisition equips BAXUS’ users with a holistic environment, enhancing their ability to access further knowledge, ensuring security, and fostering confidence in their wine and spirits collections.
After two years of listening to user feedback, distilling market data, and rejecting several funding and acquisition offers, we found the perfect partner in BAXUS, a decentralized platform for liquor enthusiasts. As Todd and I spoke, we realized we had more in common than we thought, like how the market should be controlled by the consumers and how the value of liquor can in fact be quantified. Our mission is to empower consumers, improve pricing transparency, and expand globally, reaching new consumers.
Richard Morrow, co-founder of BoozApp
