What is wine gum?

Wine gums are chewy, fruity gummy candies that are popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, and other parts of the world. Despite their name, wine gums do not contain any actual wine or alcohol, but are instead flavored with fruit juices and extracts. They typically come in a variety of bright colors and flavors, such as blackcurrant, lemon, orange, strawberry, and lime.

Wine gums have a firm texture that makes them satisfying to chew, and they are often enjoyed as a sweet treat or snack. They are often sold in small, individual packets or in larger bags for sharing. Wine gums are a popular candy choice for both children and adults, and are often a nostalgic favorite for many people.
