Maynards Wine Gums

Many of you are wondering if you can Maynards wine gums in Singapore.

The answer is yes.

I got it at Carrefour, Plaza Singapura (level 1). The sweet section obviously. I guess some of you wanted to get this because you watched the wine gum experiment by Charlie Mcdonnell on youtube.

(68 Orchard Road Plaza Singapura Singapore 238839) Last checked December 2011 (They are still selling it, search carefully)


Price: $4.50

They only have one type of packaging.

A little history and facts about wine gums:

1) Maynards was founded in 1896 by Charles Riley Maynard.

2)Maynards has since been bought by Cadbury and now sells over £50m of sweets.

3) Wine gums do not contain WINE. The name comes from the lingering, subtle fruit flavours that make it "similar to the experience of savouring a fine wine". In reference to this, the sweets have the names of alcoholic drinks on them, for example port, sherry, champagne, claret, gin, Rioja, Chablis and Burgundy.

Let's do a little wine gum experiment with my packet of wine gums.


(I ate one red and one yellow due to the lack of space)

Pathetic blackcurrant. So it's true that the flavors are not evenly distributed. The pastilles are chewy. Red-taste like strawberry, orange - orange, yellow - lemon, green - lime, black - blackcurrant. One good thing about it is that they don't stuck in my teeth unlike many pastilles.
