At YEG Exotic, Edmonton's premier destination for rare and international treats, we take pride in offering our customers distinctive products from around the globe. One such gem is the Cheerwine Cherry Longneck Soda—a beverage with a rich history and a flavor profile that's sure to delight both the curious and the nostalgic.
A Century of Cheer: The Story Behind Cheerwine
Originating in Salisbury, North Carolina, Cheerwine has been a beloved beverage since its creation in 1917. Amid a sugar shortage during World War I, L.D. Peeler sought to craft a unique soft drink that would stand out in the market. He acquired a wild cherry flavor from a salesman in St. Louis, which, when combined with other ingredients, resulted in the birth of Cheerwine. The name aptly reflects its deep burgundy color and cheerful cherry taste. Remarkably, Cheerwine remains under the stewardship of the Peeler family, making it the oldest continuing soft drink still operated by its founding family.
What Sets Cheerwine Apart?
Cheerwine is not your typical cherry soda. Its flavor is a harmonious blend of sweetness with pronounced cherry notes, particularly reminiscent of black cherry. This distinct taste is complemented by a higher level of carbonation compared to many other soft drinks, offering a refreshing and effervescent experience. Despite its name, Cheerwine contains no alcohol; the 'wine' in its name purely describes its rich color and flavor.
The Allure of the Longneck Glass Bottle
There's something undeniably nostalgic about sipping a soda from a glass bottle. The Cheerwine Cherry Longneck Soda not only offers this classic experience but also ensures optimal flavor preservation. Glass bottles prevent any interaction between the beverage and its container, allowing you to enjoy Cheerwine's authentic taste just as its creators intended. Additionally, the longneck design is both ergonomic and evokes a sense of timelessness, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
