Product Introductions

Business Editors

KETCHUM, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 25, 2002--Aqua Vie Beverage Corp. (OTCBB:AQVB) announced that the company is working with RalstonGroup (Bend, Ore.), an advertising/public relations agency, to launch grassroots marketing campaigns in several Aqua Vie test markets in the Western United States, beginning during the holiday season of 2002.

"Aqua Vie and its distributors see great potential for an all-natural water beverage that can go head to head with major manufacturers based on its preservative-free formula," said Thomas Gillespie, president and chief executive officer. "This campaign will lay the foundation for key product introductions during 2003," he said. Introduction of PurePlay(TM), Aqua Vie's line of children's Hydrators(TM) is slated for the second calendar quarter of 2003.

Aqua Vie Beverage Corp. develops and markets all-natural, lightly flavored, still (noncarbonated) 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 half-liter bottles, is designed to increase one's personal consumption of water, naturally. The underlying technology also serves as the delivery system for Aqua Vie's new line of children's Hydrators(TM), PurePlay(TM), and Eau Vin(TM), Aqua Vie's line of nonalcoholic wine and champagnes made from spring water.
