Maynards Winegums Reviews

Today I took great pleasure in trecking out in the snow to the shop for some yummy winegums! I decided to write this review because I forgot how delicious they are and how many fond memories I have of them. I trundled home to the smell of Christmas dinner and shared them (unwillingly) with my nephew whilst we both waited for dinner to ...  Read the complete review

Maynards wine gums come in a tube version or in large bags, with the tube version you will go through these before you know it. The look? Different shaped and coloured gums, the colour of the gum does tend to indicate the flavour which is on its way. The bag is mostly red with a collage of the wine gums colours also on the front, ...  Read the complete review

Having written about Maynards Wine Pastilles recently, it seems sensible to move on to the sweet with which Maynards really made their name: Wine Gums. Although the company (now owned by Cadbury) was formed in the 1890s, what has become their signature product was launched in 1909 - info direct from Cadbury's site, so not the 1896 stated in the ...  Read the complete review

Am I the only person who thinks that wine gums should actually have a much more authentic wine taste. I am not a wine connesseur myself but I know what wine should taste like and I am sorry to say that wine gums do not have a strong enough wine flavour for my pallette. Maynards come closer to achieving the wine taste than some other brands, but ...  Read the complete review

Maynard's winegums are fantastic gum sweets which taste nice, and seem fantastic quality too and are some of the best jelly gum sweets on the market in my opinion. The winegums themselves come in various shapes and sizes however there all fairly small and are edible in one go. They are made out of jelly however unlike some jelly sweets ...  Read the complete review

I have been eating Wine Gums since I was a youngster in the 1970's but had no idea that the name had been associated with Wine Gums to as far back as 1880. It was in this year that 'Charles Riley Maynard started producing sweets in a candy kitchen with his brother, Tom, while his wife, Sarah Ann, served their customers. Maynards was launched as a ...  Read the complete review

Maynards Wine Gums are the nicest gums you can buy as they have delicious intense flavours and last a long time when you suck them, yet they are irresistible to bite into. You can buy them in small tubes or in larger packets. The tubes are 52g and cost just 39p. The wine gums are all round and are wrapped in a plastic packet, which is twisted at ...  Read the complete review

I ran through town the other day hoping to get to the sweet stall in the market, feed my sweet tooth and take a break from an otherwise boring day at work. I was wanting some traditional sweets, some fruit salads or some wine gums, some of my favourites Sadly the markets sweet guy had packed up for the day and his stall was shut, sadly I had to ...  Read the complete review

Wine Gums are like a softer version of Fruit Gums. Wine Gums are manufactured by Maynards and were first introduced in 1909 and since then they have just got better and better. Nowadays, Wine Gums still have roughly the same features as when they were first released, chewy, fruity and non sugar coated. These 3 defining features are what makes ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes the old ones are the best, and Maynards Wine Gums certainly come into that category. These sweets have been around for as long as I can remember, with very little in the way of modification, and that is just fine by me! These sweets are blobs of sugar and gelatine (sorry to those veggies reading this, but you should stay away ...  Read the complete review

Maynards Wine Gums are better than sex. Fact. Feels like one of those weird cleaning product adverts on television. Anyway, wine gums have always been my favourite sweet and I'm pleased to say that they haven't fallen victim to things like a name change or product revamp in recent years. Charles Riley Maynard founded the famous sweet ...  Read the complete review

Wine Gums are chewy sweets that (oddly) contain no wine, but use fruit flavours to simulate closely the taste of certain alcoholic drinks. Each sweet is labelled for a drink e.g. 'port'. These Maynards ones are the most famous brand, and many supermarkets have come up with their own cheap ranges which are OK but not as good as ...  Read the complete review

Everytime we go on holiday we have to have a packet of wine gums in the car to last us about, hmmmm, lets say 5 minutes? Or to the cinema, or the theatre or maybe even just to sit at home! Wine gums are chewy, gummy fruit flavoured sweets that unfortunately don't contain wine or any alcohol at all. They can be bought in lots of ...  Read the complete review

Being a complete sweetie-holic and being out this morning shopping, I really felt like a fruity and chewy treat. I love chocolate and crisps but I adore munching through sweets...far to much actually lol. The packaging is always rather distinctive. Always red with lots of colour on them and the main writing is always in large white ...  Read the complete review

MAYNARDS WINEGUMS When there are school holidays, I always stock up on my secret stash, as we often go out to the cinema etc. I don't know about anyone else but it irritates me paying £5+ for a few sweets in a posh bag. I hadn't bought any fruit gums for ages, so as these were on offer I decided to give them a go. ***What ...  Read the complete review

If you are looking to get drunk from these babies then you are heading for a disappointment no what your best mate at school may have claimed at the ime about getting wasted on a bag of wine gums it just is not going to happen. When I was little I used to think it was incredibly grown up to be eating wine gums as they had the word Wine ...  Read the complete review

When I was little I used to think it was incredibly grown up to be eating wine gums as they had the word Wine in them so were obviously an adult sweet that children could eat. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that Wine Gums actually contain no alcohol at all. Apparently, according to an article I read the name wine gums comes ...  Read the complete review

I ventured out last night to the cinema with my wife for the first time in ages and the best bit of the whole night was the delicious bag of wine gums I sat and destroyed whilst watching the movie. I had not had Maynards wine gums for a long time and I really enjoyed them. Wine gums have been around for over 60 years so I ...  Read the complete review
