...Introduction... Coming back from town this morning I decided to get a can of drink from the shop as I was thirsty, I decided on Vimto as I hadnt had one for a while and wanted something different than my usual Pepsi Max and also to be reminded of why I liked it in the first place. ...History of Vimto... Vimto dates back to 1908 when John Noel Nichols, a wholesaler of herbs, spices and medicines decided to produce a fruit flavoured soft drink as he saw a market opening up. The drink was originallly called Vim Tonic but was shortened to Vimto in 1912. It was originally marketed as a health tonic or medicine, which was then re-registered ... Read the complete review

My last food and drink review was about a local product of my native Dumfries and Galloway. I decided to write about a more widely known product that originates in my adopted home of Manchester. This product is that wonderful fruity, funky and very purple stuff we call Vimto Vimto was first made in 1908 by John Nichols in Granby Row in Manchester. The site were it was first produced is near the UMIST campus and there is a lovely sculpture of old fashioned Vimto bottles to celebrate this. The drink was developed as a medicinal drink. The name Vimto derives from Vim and Tonic, so it was a tonic to pep you up giving you vim and vigour. It was originally ... Read the complete review

I don't drink a lot of fizzy drinks and when I do I tend to stick to my old favourite diet coke but this morning I fancied something a bit different, something fruity. I haven't had a Vimto in years and so when I spotted this in the cooler I decided that it was the drink for me. The can tells me that it contains a mixed fruit juice drink with the delicious secret Vimto flavour. A tantalising mix of secret herbs and spices and it does in fact have a very distinctive taste. Vimto contains amongst other things a mixture of grape, blackcurrant and raspberry juices and there is a hint of these flavours but Vimto has a sweet flavour all of its own which is hard ...

We have a snackbox in work that is topped up every week by a nice chap with lots of goodies. When it was hot a few weeks ago (I know its hard to remember such a time when you look outside and see wintery drizzle but I promise you it was) he tried to tempt us with a variety of fizzy drinks at the slightly inflated cost of 60p per can. No one touched them sticking righteously to their cold water from the cooler, today was depressing and I didn't fancy dull water so checked out the canned selection. And there is was, a can of Vimto, a vision from my youth! I actually got excited, it just stands out from all the generic red Coca-Cola, and lurid orange of the Irn ... Read the complete review

Fizzy Vimto: I have to admit I quite like Vimto and I always have. Anyway I was polishing off a can earlier and I thought I'd review it. Vimto as a brand do fizzy drinks and also do a cordial version too. I like both but the fizzy version is my favourite and therefor the one I drink most often. The flavour of the two is very similar so if you don't like fizz you can have the "squash" and still enjoy the great flavour. Apparently Vimto is grape, blackcurrant and raspberry flavoured but in my opinion it doesn't taste like those fruits. You can't get a taste of any of the fruits individually but it is a lovely fruity taste ... Read the complete review
