Malibu and Web3
Absolut Company’s Malibu is not the first branded beverage to register trademarks for Web3 purposes. Last September, Moet and Jack Daniel’s also filed for registration to enter the metaverse and the NFT space.
Malibu has already organized a metaverse experience for the Coachella festival for a fortnight in April. Absolut.Land in Decentraland offered users exclusive equipment and the chance to win NFT wearables.
Luxury beverage companies on the Web3
Luxury beverage companies that have joined the metaverse include Johnnie Walker whiskey, Patrón tequila, and Rémy Martin and Hennessy cognacs. In addition, there is an NFT marketplace, BlockBar, devoted entirely to spirits.
