Besa mi vino

What Besa mi vino does

Besa mi vino is a California-based, woman-operated beverage company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Beverly Hills, operating under the DBA names Besa, Besa mi vino, and Besa Wines. The company sells two product lines: (1) hard seltzers crafted from premium Santa Barbara Riesling wine rather than malt liquor, in Peach, Fruit Punch, and Watermelon flavors at 5% ABV, 100 calories, and 0g sugar in 12 fl. oz. cans; and (2) organic wines — White, Red, and Rosé — sourced from Paso Robles vineyards at 12.5% ABV in 250mL cans. The wines carry SIP Certified and CCOF Organic certifications, and all products are vegan and gluten-free, positioning the brand in the better-for-you alcoholic beverage category.

The company monetizes through one-time product sales across a multi-channel distribution footprint: physical retail via Total Wine & More and select liquor stores in California plus select Australian outlets, e-commerce via Amazon and the brand's own DTC site, and a merchandise storefront at drinkbesamerch.com. Pricing is unit-based with no disclosed subscription or recurring model; packs include variety 12-packs, single-flavor 4-packs, and single cans. Customer acquisition is community-led, relying on Instagram and Facebook organic content, an email newsletter, and experiential events such as brunches, sip-and-paint sessions, and larger "hoedown" gatherings targeted at health-conscious social drinkers, particularly women.

The most material recent strategic action is the October 2025 official sponsorship of Love Island Australia Season 7 alongside NEFT Vodka, which served as the launch vehicle for Besa's Passionfruit Hard Seltzer in Australia — its first deliberate international expansion. Leadership consists of CEO Victoria Brodsky and co-founder Taj Walia. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries in the source data, consistent with a bootstrapped, founder-operated brand.
