old

but the "real deal Cheerwine" is this formula, still made w 100% real cane sugar (not even US Coca-Cola has that anymore, but the Mex version does)

bottled in Salisbury, NC since 1917

yup. its kinda like a cherry dr. pepper.

[steiny_ramone]

never heard of it. it looks good though. maybe its not available in canada

I can't recall seeing it in a state whose name didn't end in "th Carolina."

[sc49erfan15]

Nice. I'm glad they dropped the "soft drink" below the logo...that always annoyed me, and it's been there since at least the late 80's, when I was first introduced to its greatness.

I'm a frequent consumer of this beverage...I probably account for about 25% of total sales for Diet Cheerwine. It's cheap ($0.89 for a 2-liter) and tastes good hot or cold, which is good because the refrigerator in our room has enough space for about 3 20 ounces. Perfect for college students.

And I'm pretty sure it's available in only "th Carolina" states...I can't remember if I saw it the last times I was in Tennessee or Virginia.

Yes, you can get it in the Volunteer state if you look hard enough. At least in the eastern part of the state. It's a good cherry cola.

examining the picture of the old bottle, it appears to be very direct. "Drink Cheerwine Soft Drink" "It's Good Taste"

There was this stuff called Ski made near St. Louis. Its canned in Tennessee, but a bottling plant in Breese Illinois still puts it into the returnable bottles. that stuff is made with pure cane sugar and its intense sweet. Almost too sweet.

Hmm...I want some. Anybody want to send me a case of the stuff? I'll pay for the cost and shipping.

I wish I knew about this stuff earlier. I would have looked for it in my two previous trips to South Carolina. Also, the Mexican Cokes do taste better than the US cokes. Sure I pay more for them, but I like buying them at Mexican supermarkets in my area.

I've had this, and I'm not a big fan. I find it to be of lesser quality than Dr. Pepper. My roommate last year, though, loved the stuff.

If sometime you get a dr Pepper at a restaurant, ask them to put some grenadine in it.. it makes like a cherry Dr. Pepper.. this is similar to cheerwine.

Cheerwine is in stores in GA, but not at the QT, its on the bottom shelf of the Ingles Grocery, or somewhere small like that.

There is one plants in Texas that still makes Dr Peper with sugar cane. Pretty tasty.

I have never seen or heard of "Cheerwine" is it only sold in some places?

[fiasco!]

the south...primarily, the carolinas.

[paynomind]

Cool, Joel.. good to know. Hey, by the way, I heard they might be getting new packaging.

Whats it taste like, anyway?

[TTaylor44]

We have Cheerwine here in Rockford, Illinoith Carolina.

[redsfan39]

the49erfan15 sent my some of this stuff. Me and my coworkers sure do like it, and I think it's as good as Dr. Pepper, if not better.

[Runner]

This Cheerwine stuff seems pretty good.

I'm glad they dropped the "soft drink" below the logo...

I guess they felt like they needed to point out it is a soft drink since Wine is part of the name. From a design standpoint, though, I agree. It always bugged me too.
