As a recovering alcoholic myself (about 6 years sober), I really think you’re over-reacting.

I can understand if you’re newly sober and it rubs you the wrong way. Early in the process of recovery, little things can be really triggering because they’re amplified by your own struggle with addiction. I did the same thing in my first few years of sobriety. As time goes on, and you start getting years of sobriety under your belt, you’ll see these things aren’t as big of a deal. Personally, I frequently refer to the old me, pre-sobriety, as a “f__ng drunk”.

If it is that you’re going through the early stages of recovery, all my best wishes. It’s tough, but it’s worth it

In reply to Judgemental brand. Username really checks out on this one! *I'm just being salty, but good LORD you come off ridiculously. Calm down. This isn't a news outlet.

In reply to Judgemental brand. But this isn't an advertisement. It's a blog with candy reviews. He was trying to be funny. Humor of course is subjective, will work for some and not others. Worked for me, perhaps not for you.

Super off-putting for you to use the slur “drunks”. Alcohol abuse/misuse is not something to be joked about or referenced in a condescending manner. You’d be surprised by the percentage of outwardly presenting ‘functional alcoholics’ that fall into the alcohol use disorder category. At bare minimum, genetic females who drink more than 1 standard drink in a single day or more than 5 standard drinks over the course of 7 days are, in fact, technically abusing alcohol. So maybe next time, hold your tongue and phrase the advertisement as “miss the taste of wine? Eat our non-alcoholic gummies!”

I love these gummies, I especially love that they are made with all natural ingredients, not even any artificial colorings!
If you have a Publix supermarket nearby you can get these in the international aisle (with the british stuff) for $2.87 a bag (5.8oz)
Awesome right? They are really good.

I live in Russia and today I found wine gums in shop of Finnish products and it is delicious! I never thought that Haribo and things like that can be so tasty (except for moomin candies, but I can’t find them in Russia for a few years). I just wanted to share my happiness.

Walmart “Our Finest” wine gums are the same product in case you’re in Canada and can’t get the Traveners brand 🙂

Does anyone know if Taveners and Waterbridge wine gums are made by the same people?

Tavener’s wine gums are alright in bringing back the memory of my first addictive authentic wine gum experience in 1980, through the sweet smell that rises from the bag when I open them. But the flavors are not the same. I wish I could find a company that makes the original wine gums flavored with a profile that likens the different varietals of wines, instead of just another gummy fruit candy making company. The dark blackberry colored wine gums are my favorite flavor, as they are the only selection which has an essence in the taste that compares to the one of original wine flavored candies I remember, and I find that the the dark ones are the most scarce and least produced per bag. I find that I eat the one to three black berry colored wine guns first and give the rest of the lemon, lime, orange, and cherry fruit gummy candies away or they sometime make it to the trash. There’s nothing unique about tropical fruit flavored gummy candies. The Harribo company is one of many that has cornered that market globally. I appreciated Tavener’s efforts in keeping the idea alive, however they are selling gummy tropical fruit flavored candies, not wine flavored gummy candy(wine gums). There’s a big difference.
