 ... bags. These sweets have been around for over 60 years and have been a favourite of mine for a good few years but I won't say how many! Each sweet has the name of a drink on it in raised lettering such as Port, Sherry and Claret and although they carry the names of alcohol and are called wine gums they do not actually contain any alcohol or even wine flavouring. They are fruit flavoured gummy sweets and very nice ones at that, I can go back to when a tube of these would cost me 8p but I am sure if the tubes are still around ...more

This is my review on manynards wine gums. On the sweets they have diffrent messages on them what are port, Burgandy, Sherry, Champange and claret. Just to peole who think Wine Gums contain wine they Dont. Maynard wine gums have been along for over 60 Years what is a long time for sweets. My favorite wine gums is the green one it is so juciey when you eat it and taste of lime which is my favorite . The one relley good fact is that wine gums do not get stuck in between your teeth . The current price for a small packet is 45p and for a big bag is £1.25 at mt local paper shop. I can not say anything what is negtive with this product because ...

I'd like to tell a little about my favourite unchocolatey sweet, namely Maynards Wine Gums. Last night I chewed through a whole packet in less than a minute (not literally through the packet you understand, I DID take the wrapper off first!). I suppose I should be feeling guilty as 1) I didn't share, and 2) they were meant to be my daughters but I nicked them. I was introduced to these my my dear old uncle Dave as he always had a packet as a travel sweet to distract him from chundering while moving. Obviously I nabbed as many as I could get away with when he was distracted by passing trucks, or a stray buffalo. To this day, I find myself ...

Maynards Wine Gums For those of you who have never encountered these wonderfully fruity, gummy, chewy sweets, well you’ve certainly been missing out! They have been around forever, or at least, for a very , very long time. As a child I’m certain there were rumours we heard that eating too many of them could make you drunk, but as they came, at that time, in a roll of about 14, there was never really the opportunity to eat too many! The sweets are round, in orange, blackcurrant, lime and an unidentifiable flavour (coloured red – could be raspberry, could be something quite else!), and they are housed, rolled up, in a multicoloured plastic wrapper. ...
