Exhibit 31

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Carmine N. Stella, certify that:

1. I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of Capital  Beverage
Corporation;

2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows of the small business
issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. I am responsible for  establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and  15d-15(e)) for the
small business issuer and have:

     a.  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused  such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision,  to
     ensure that material  information  relating to the small  business  issuer,
     including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made  known to me by others
     within those entities,  particularly during the period in which this report
     is being prepared;

     b. Evaluated the  effectiveness of the small business  issuer's  disclosure
     controls and procedures  and presented in this report my conclusions  about
     the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,  as of the end
     of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     c.  Disclosed  in this  report  any change in the small  business  issuer's
     internal  control over financial  reporting that occurred  during the small
     business  issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business  issuer's
     fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
     affected,  or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
     issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial  reporting,  to the small  business  issuer's  auditors  and the audit
committee  of the  small  business  issuer's  board  of  directors  (or  persons
performing the equivalent functions):

     a. All significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the design or
     operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
     likely to adversely  affect the small business  issuer's ability to record,
     process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b. Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves  management or other
     employees  who  have a  significant  role in the  small  business  issuer's
     internal controls over financial reporting.
