Maynards Bassetts Winegums, 1 kg Bag

Product Information

If you want something with a stronger fruit flavour, fruit pastilles are the way to go. They're also coated in sugar, so they offer a sweeter taste. Whether you’re trying them for the first time or rekindling childhood retro sweetshop memories, you're sure to find a wine gum flavour you’ll just love. Made with only natural colours, wine gums are lovingly created to give you the very best taste and are perfect for sharing with friends and family. The recipe for Berrymans Wine Gums is a closely guarded secret but we can tell you that no actual wine is used in the manufacturing process of them. Despite this, we still manage to make them taste amazing. Maynard’s sweet business slowly took off, and by 1896, business was booming so much that he launched it as a company. If you'd like to access the best wine gums, please feel free to browse through our extensive collection of wholesale sweets at great prices. We search near and far to offer our customers great prices and an impressive selection of delicious confectionery.

However, it's pretty difficult and time-consuming, so it's worth buying wholesale wine gums from a quality confectioner if you're not a confident, sweet maker. While Maynard's will always be the OG of wine gums, plenty of other options are available at various price points. Best of all, with their all-natural colouring and no artificial flavours, our Wine Gums are suitable for the whole family to enjoy. Both those young and old can enjoy the extra fruity flavours on offer from a bag of wine gums. We love wine gums, but we can't decided between us whether we prefer midget gems over them. Both are great retro sweets and compliment each other perfectly. Maynard's father was teetotal, and he created wine gums as a rich flavoured sweet that would serve as an alcohol-free alternative to traditional wine.

Wine gums are the perfect sweet for in the car (who can remember munching on a bag during a family road trip?), a great accompaniment to your favourite film, or even just as a special treat.

Wine gums are chewy, firm pastille-type sweets originating from the United Kingdom. All brands have their own recipes containing various sweeteners, flavourings, and colourings. Wine gums are popular in the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, South Africa and many Commonwealth nations, as well as several European countries. Common brands include Maynards, Bassett's, Haribo and Lion. Wine Gums have been around since 1909 (over 100 years ago), that's the ultimate retro sweet, and they have been one of the nation’s favourite traditional gummy sweet since. Made by Lion, who has been producing gum sweets since 1909 these Wine Gums are harder and more flavourful than other Wine Gums on the market. Lion doesn't cut corners on craftsmanship, quality, flavour, and texture with their iconic take on the classic Wine Gum. There is an age-old debate on the flavouring of Wine Gum sweets. Despite the strong fruity taste that Wine Gums have, some suggest they loosely replicate the flavours of various wines! And if you're still on the hunt for a drink, try out out Pint Pots (Beer Bottles) … Again, they don't contain any actual beer (sorry to disappoint). Over 100 years later and Lion Wine Gums are still created with the original recipe – don't fix what isn't broken right? Comparing to old classic retro sweets such as Fruit Pastilles and Fruit Salad Gums, Lions Wine Gums are arguably above them all.While the lighter colours offer a more fruity taste, the darker colours are full-bodied and mimic red wine. Wine gums are a classic sweet, but they can be too intense for children - after all, they were designed with adults in mind. A question we often get asked is, do wine gums contain alcohol? In contrast to their name, Wine Gums contain no alcohol, but it is thought that their long-lasting fruity flavours are an attempt to make them almost like drinking and experiencing fine wine. The different colours of sweet are traditionally named after types of wines – hence the name. These typically were: Port, Sherry, Champagne, Burgundy, Claret, Rioja, Merlot and even Rum!

Most products supply right around 90 calories per 28g. Another major brands provide 130 calories per 7-piece serving, which means that a single wine gum contains about 19 calories. Maynard’s Wine Gums were first created in 1909 by Maynard’s son, Charles Gordon Maynard. But Charles nearly had his son fired after discovering junior Maynard had come up with his own recipe for Maynard’s Wine Gums! Well, the idea might have seemed like a bizarre one, but most incredible inventions usually are! Even Maynard's father didn't like the idea of wine gums, but that soon changed when he realised the profitability of these sweets. Jelly babies are a junior version of wine gums, but they're softer and have a more jelly-like consistency. They're also dusted in starch, giving them their unique appearance. Wine gums are actually relatively easy to make at home, and you don't need any fancy equipment. All you need is some sugar, gelatine, cornstarch, water and your chosen flavourings.However, you can consume them in moderation so they easily fit into your healthy diet requirements.
