Minibar Delivery
At the onset of the pandemic in the U.S., online alcohol sales skyrocketed 234 percent from the same time last spring. Understanding the appeal of home-delivery service well ahead of statewide lockdowns, Lindsey Andrews WG09 and Lara Crystal WG09 launched Minibar Delivery in 2014. It all started when Andrews and Crystal, out of wine on a takeout Tuesday night, wanted an easier way to score a bottle than heading to the nearest New York City shop. Now relying on those mom-and-pop stores as suppliers, Minibar Delivery is making folks at home happy while, critically, supporting small businesses.
