A new tech startup in Miami is turning heads—and palates—with a patented “frequency-based” product that claims to enhance drinks without adding a single thing to them.
Imagine pulling a $12 bottle of wine off the shelf, tapping it with a card, and suddenly sipping something that feels, well, fancier. That’s the kind of buzz BOĆE is generating in the beverage world right now. Its founder, a holistic physician turned inventor, says the product can elevate the taste, texture, and aroma of everything from whiskey to sports drinks. And no—it doesn’t pour anything in. It doesn’t even open the bottle.
A Tech-Savvy Card That Plays With Your Drink’s Molecules
At the heart of BOĆE is a slim, credit card-sized object that uses something called “quantum tunneling” to alter the structure of your beverage. Yes, this sounds like science fiction. But the company says it’s real—and government-reviewed.
Developed by Dr. Drew Karp, a chiropractor with a background in integrative medicine, BOĆE operates using encoded frequencies that pass through glass, metal, or plastic containers. These frequencies are supposedly inspired by natural energy patterns and interact with the beverage at a molecular level.
There are no chemicals. No flavors. Just what they call “subtle energy.”
The idea is that these frequencies oxygenate and stabilize the liquid, stripping off harsh edges and amplifying smoother, more nuanced flavors. A Miami-based sommelier, after testing a basic $15 red wine treated with the card, described the change as “night and day.” Gone was the bitter aftertaste. In its place? Velvet. Spice. Balance.
Not Just Taste: BOĆE’s Government Endorsements Raise Eyebrows
BOĆE’s technology isn’t just a party trick. It’s been vetted—surprisingly—by both the U.S. Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. That’s not typical for food or drink tech.
Some speculate it’s the quantum physics behind the process. Others think it’s the card’s ability to influence chemical structures in liquids, which could have applications far beyond happy hour. Whatever the case, the attention gave BOĆE enough credibility to land a patent and expand into commercial partnerships.
Today, some manufacturers—like a Mezcal company in Mexico—have embedded the tech right into their bottling process using a printed internal label. No moving parts. No gadgets. Just the design file printed inside the label.
One sentence paragraph? Here you go.
Customers Say It Works—And They’re Buying
BOĆE claims a 95% approval rate in live, in-person taste tests. That means almost everyone who tries a beverage before and after BOĆE treatment notices—and prefers—the enhanced version.
It’s not just talk. The company reports:
-
A 1% return rate on e-commerce purchases
-
Positive lab reports showing reduced fusel oils and oxidative byproducts
-
High interest from both beverage producers and wellness enthusiasts
Consumer behavior backs this up too. With over half of global shoppers tightening their spending, people are looking for ways to enjoy luxury without the sticker shock. BOĆE seems to offer just that—a hack to make the affordable feel premium.
According to market research firm Statista, the global premium spirits market is projected to grow by over 10% by 2029. But people are also bargain hunting: 55% of consumers already cut back in 2023, while 33% are actively searching for better value.
BOĆE is stepping into that tension with perfect timing.
From a Doctor’s Office to Your Cocktail Glass
Interestingly, BOĆE didn’t start with wine or whiskey. Dr. Karp originally developed the tech as part of his wellness clinic to counteract the chaotic effects of processed drinks on the human body. Patients were showing signs of inflammation and imbalance after drinking mass-produced sodas and juices.
Karp believed certain frequencies—rooted in natural resonance—could bring back harmony to liquid structures. Over time, what began as a clinical tool morphed into a product for anyone with a fridge, a glass, and a curious tongue.
Its first form was a coaster. Then it evolved into a portable card. Now, it’s becoming part of the packaging itself.
Still a Lot of Questions, But Even More Curiosity
Let’s be honest—quantum physics and liquor aren’t exactly an expected pairing. And some skeptics are asking whether taste alone can be trusted as proof. But for now, the data points to real results.
Some sommeliers and chemists say the flavor changes could be linked to minor molecular restructuring caused by electrostatic energy. Others remain unconvinced. But most agree on one thing: the product is unusual—and oddly compelling.
Whether it becomes a niche health-and-wellness item or a must-have for wine lovers, BOĆE is riding a fascinating line between science, sensation, and business strategy.
Time will tell if it’s a revolution—or just a really smooth buzz.
