Cheerwine is a unique, distinctly cherry-flavored soft drink that is as much a popular culture phenomenon as it is popular beverage. Known as the Nectar of North Carolina, this light and refreshing sparkling beverage features real cane sugar and a large bubble pattern that delivers its very clean, very complete, sweet-yet-mild flavor just ringing with strong cherry notes. Most folks say it’s impossible to explain the euphoric taste of Cheerwine – that it’s just one of those things you have to try for yourself – but one thing everyone agrees on is that Cheerwine should not be mistaken for cherry cola. The odd name of Cheerwine, which is not a wine and contains no alcohol, comes from its burgundy wine-like color, cherry flavor and – of course – the smile it puts on the face of its drinkers, which it’s been doing since 1917. Subject of a New York Times write-up and Food Network praise, the popularity of this beverage has yielded ice cream, sherbet, cream bars and yes – even Krispy Kreme donuts -- all of which brandish the signature Cheerwine flavor. And now that Cheerwine is available from Beverages Direct, you can finally discover the south’s best-kept secret for yourself, no matter where you live.
