Wine Gums by Bon Bons

Default Title InStock

Do you know the origin of wine gums? They were first created in 1909 by the son and heir of a London sweetshop owner, Charles Gordon Maynard who wanted to create a sweet that could be savoured like a fine wine. The 'wine gum' plan nearly backfired as his father was a strict Methodist teetotaller who threatened to expel him from the business for introducing wine to his products. But the 'wine' label was merely a ruse with the only flavourings wine gums contain are derived from fruit.

Chewy, fruity and delicious, wine gums are hard to beat and continue to be best sellers today.
