Vimto Fruit Cordial 1liter

Product Information

Vimto was created in 1908 in Manchester by John Noel Nichols (1883–1966), a wholesaler of herbs, spices and medicines. [1] He saw the market opening for soft drinks due to the temperance movement and the passage of the 1908 Licensing Act. [2] It was originally sold under the name Vim Tonic, which Nichols shortened to 'Vimto' in 1912. Vimto was originally registered as a health tonic or medicine, which was then re-registered in 1913 as a cordial. [3] [4] Vimto is also manufactured under licence in Saudi Arabia, in Dammam city, Yemen, The Gambia, and Ghana. A Sunday Times article in 2007 claimed it to be the most popular drink during the holy month of Ramadan in some Arab countries. [11] It tastes fantastic and I have worked out that I like it more than most of my childhood favourites because of two early memories: 1) My mum wouldn’t get it for me except on special occasions as it was deemed too expensive for regular consumption. 2) One of my mate’s mums wouldn’t give it to me while pouring it for her son, explaining that she didn’t think I would like it. At the time this seemed like a reasonable opinion for an adult to have. Later I realised that she made this opinion up because while she deemed it affordable for family members, she felt it too expensive to give out will-nilly to visiting guests. Well, that’s base meanness of the most sneaky form, but the unintended result has been that Vimto is firmly in my mind as a forbidden drink and consequently, every time I drink it, I feel like I’ve finally hit the big time.

In 2011, Vimto once again became widely available throughout the Republic of Ireland, through Tesco and the local version of Iceland shops. [ citation needed] Various alternate-flavoured variants of Vimto were introduced over the years; cherry- and strawberry-flavoured variants, known as "Cherry Vimto" and "Strawberry Vimto", have become part of the range. In 2016, a new variant, "Vimto Remix", was introduced. This range consists of various alternate flavour mixes that were introduced each year – mango, strawberry and pineapple in 2016, raspberry, orange, and passionfruit in 2017, watermelon, strawberry, and peach in 2018 and strawberry, orange and lime in 2019. The "Remix" name was eventually dropped after the drink was rebranded in 2021, while new flavour mixes continue to be introduced. [ citation needed] Manchester Statues & Monuments".
