A Taste of Things to Come . . . Aqua Vie to Launch 3 New Flavors.

KETCHUM, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 1999--

Aqua Vie Beverage Corporation (OTC BB:AVBC), announced today that it will launch three new Hydrator(TM) flavors -- Java(TM) (spring water with Kona coffee and other natural flavors); McIntosh(TM) (spring water with McIntosh Apple and other natural flavors); and Sun Tea(TM) (spring water with Tea, Lemon, and other natural flavors).

These three new flavors join Avalanche(TM) (Pear, Guava), Bamboo(TM) (Japanese Cherry), Harvest(TM) (French Strawberry), Paradise(TM) (Orange, Peach), and Raw(TM) (Aqua Vie's own premium spring water) in Aqua Vie's all-natural Hydrator line designed to encourage individuals to achieve optimal levels of personal hydration effortlessly.

Tom Gillespie, president and chief executive officer of Aqua Vie, indicated that the company is now in the final phase of preparation for its North American summer product launch, accompanied by an all-new proprietary labeling, a promotional campaign with The Howard Stern Show, and a "new and improved" web site (www.aquavie.com), where consumers may order Aqua Vie product directly.

Aqua Vie, whose "Reserve Gift Box" achieved No. 1 status on "Yahoo's Top Sellers" list after only three days on the site, expects to make extensive use of its e-commerce site to communicate with distributors and consumers directly and to expedite the reorder process throughout various distribution systems both domestically and abroad. "The significance of the recent Yahoo designation is not so much the actual sales numbers we achieved -- although these, too, were beyond our expectations -- but the yield in terms of proof of concept for our all-new, proprietary and paperless e-commerce delivery system, which eliminates much of the time, motion and manpower associated with traditional delivery systems," said Gillespie. "We are genuinely excited about the potential, not only in the bottled water category, but also as an underlying technology for other product pull-through distribution systems."

Aqua Vie Beverage Corporation is North America's foremost developer and marketer of all natural, lightly flavored, still (non-carbonated) bottled spring water. The company's low-calorie alternative beverages are bacteria-free and contain no preservatives. Aqua Vie produces and markets the Hydrator(TM) line of beverages in the United States and Europe. This beverage line, comprised of seven low-calorie, all-natural beverages that are lightly flavored and packaged in 1/2-liter bottles, is designed to increase one's personal consumption of water, naturally. The underlying technology also serves as the new delivery system for Aqua Vie's nutritionally fortified E Line(TM); Elixir(TM), Empower(TM), and Ecstasy(TM), its nutritionally specific line of Aquaceuticals(TM), and Aqua Vie's non-alcoholic wine and champagne beverages made from spring water.
