Charlotte, NC — January 6, 2026 — Alternative Health Distribution (AHD), the company behind the fast-growing hemp beverage Rizzy, and Give Back Wine Group, a nationally respected beverage builder, have joined forces to create LYNC Beverage (LYNC Bev).
LYNC Bev combines AHD's cannabinoid innovation, compliant manufacturing, and national sales infrastructure with Give Back Wine Group's proven ability to scale brands through trusted distributor networks, national chains, and on-premise partners. The venture aims to set a new standard for mainstream hemp beverages and drive national expansion.
"Give Back Wine Group brings credibility, relationships, and institutional knowledge that most cannabinoid companies don't have," said Lee VanTine III, CEO of Alternative Health Distribution. "Their presence elevates LYNC Bev's ability to engage national distributors, major retailers, and hospitality groups. This is a major inflection point for Rizzy and the hemp beverage category."
"The hemp beverage space now demands professionalism, compliance, and true beverage expertise," said Charles Dick, Founder of Give Back Wine Group. "With LYNC Bev, we're applying decades of brand-building experience to a category ready for mainstream adoption. Rizzy has the branding, product quality, and cultural relevance to lead."
Operating with a beverage-first discipline, LYNC Bev will accelerate Rizzy as the flagship hemp beverage and develop additional products built for mass retail and national distribution. The venture is structured for scalability, consistency, and regulatory readiness.
LYNC Bev will prioritize:
- GMP-certified manufacturing and rigorous quality assurance
- Precise product formulation and consumer transparency
- Clean-label formulations aligned with beverage industry standards
- A regulatory-forward strategy adaptable to evolving state and federal frameworks
