Vimto

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
Vimto was created in 1908 in <a href="/facts/Manchester/2Do01QHs">Manchester</a> by John Noel Nichols (1883–1966), a wholesaler of herbs, spices and medicines.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> He saw the market opening for soft drinks due to the <a href="/facts/Temperance_movement/qT39UsE9">temperance movement</a> and the passage of the <a href="/facts/Licensing_Act_1904/QASQRPPj">Licensing Act 1904</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> It was originally sold under the name Vim Tonic (vim meaning 'vigour'), which Nichols shortened to 'Vimto' in 1912. Vimto was originally registered as a health tonic or medicine, which was then re-registered in 1913 as a <a href="/facts/Squash_(drink)/wcq73Tam">cordial</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> The concoction formula is a guarded <a href="/facts/Trade_secret/VgJ1cAz5">trade secret</a> with only 4 people appointed in keeping the recipe.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>
In 1910, production moved to a warehouse at Chapel Street, <a href="/facts/Salford/nMRFJ7oN">Salford</a>, then to <a href="/facts/Old_Trafford_(area)/xS5NyWA3">Old Trafford</a> in 1927, and in 1971, to a state-of-the-art plant in <a href="/facts/Wythenshawe/rG0MRsJn">Wythenshawe</a>, Manchester. In 1999, the company's head office moved to <a href="/facts/Newton-le-Willows/MYY8TGhv">Newton-le-Willows</a> in <a href="/facts/Metropolitan_Borough_of_St_Helens/qHVfKBsU">St Helens</a>, <a href="/facts/Merseyside/44wxA8Bd">Merseyside</a>.
From the 1990s to 2003, Vimto print advertisements used the cartoon character <a href="/facts/Giles_Andreae/eY4bQ2W0">Purple Ronnie</a>, along with slightly rude poems by <a href="/facts/Giles_Andreae/eY4bQ2W0">Giles Andreae</a>, the creator of Purple Ronnie. In 2003, Purple Ronnie was dropped, and a new creative direction was adopted, revolving around the benefits of 'Shlurpling the Purple'. This, in turn, led to the launch in 2006 of Billy and his Dad's Pants–a modern-day <a href="/facts/Morality/CSjHHvff">morality</a> story in which, despite turning up at the swimming pool with his Dad's <a href="/facts/Underpants/UarUeAfQ">pants</a> in the middle of his rolled-up towel, Billy wins out with ingenuity and humour. The theme tune 'Dad's Pants' become something of a cult classic, and was based on <a href="/facts/Loudon_Wainwright_III/pIe4AVoC">Loudon Wainwright III</a>'s 1972 novelty song "<a href="/facts/Dead_Skunk/m0xgK8M2">Dead Skunk</a>".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a>

An oak sculpture entitled "A Monument to Vimto" was created by Kerry Morrison and installed on Granby Row–the location of the original Vimto premises–in <a href="/facts/Manchester_city_centre/5AEVotht">central Manchester</a> in 1992. The statue was restored and repainted in 2011.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>
In 2021 Vimto introduced a new logo design across the range.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>

<h2 id="manufacture">Manufacture</h2>
Vimto is currently produced by <a href="/facts/Refresco/bGTIW1yS">Refresco</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> (formerly Cott Corporation) in both <a href="/facts/Leicestershire/X4UYhAU9">Leicestershire</a> and <a href="/facts/Yorkshire/jE4s4LNG">Lancashire</a> on behalf of Vimto Soft Drinks, a division of <a href="/facts/Nichols_plc/wPHYPEFy">Nichols plc</a>. Nichols moved out of manufacturing in 2003 when it closed its final production site in <a href="/facts/Golborne/ayg6g17B">Golborne</a>, <a href="/facts/Wigan/ttEMzWQ0">Wigan</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> 
Vimto is also manufactured under licence in <a href="/facts/Saudi_Arabia/uyUpe1J2">Saudi Arabia</a>, <a href="/facts/Yemen/eDyoh4qV">Yemen</a>, <a href="/facts/The_Gambia/en5tl7Sz">The Gambia</a>, and <a href="/facts/Ghana/IkUw32Ya">Ghana</a>. A <a href="/facts/The_Sunday_Times/15om0zLf">Sunday Times</a> article in 2007 claimed it to be the most popular drink during the holy month of <a href="/facts/Ramadan/eBpGEkst">Ramadan</a> in some Arab countries.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> The drink in its original incarnation is still maintained as a health tonic among West Africans and is marketed as such there.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a>
The drink was also made under licence in the United Kingdom by <a href="/facts/A.G._Barr/wBjHDVNg">A.G. Barr</a> in 1996.
In 2014, the recipe for Fizzy Vimto was changed to include artificial sweeteners, <a href="/facts/Acesulfame_potassium/okrKqex7">Acesulfame K</a> and <a href="/facts/Sucralose/5y1hz710">Sucralose</a>.
<a href="/facts/Ellis_Wilkinson_Mineral_Water_Manufacturer/cTYUhIG6">Ellis Wilkinson Mineral Water</a> facilitated the production of drinks for Vimto in their early days of trading.

<h3>Company</h3>
A subsidiary of Nichols plc, Cabana is the distribution arm of the company, and operates via a UK-wide network of distributors that are, in the main, independent. In <a href="/facts/Scotland/VGwbbxB2">Scotland</a> and <a href="/facts/Sussex/8oev4Jwv">Sussex</a>, the distributor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cabana (Scotland–Cariel, and Sussex–Beacon Drinks now closed). 
Vimto is currently available in 65 countries and the number of countries in which it is on sale is growing.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a>

<h2 id="variations-uk-market">Variations (UK market)</h2>

Both a <a href="/facts/Squash_(drink)/wcq73Tam">still, dilutable version</a> ("Vimto Cordial") and a <a href="/facts/Carbonation/AHnWIB8z">carbonated</a> premixed version ("Fizzy Vimto") are available in the UK. While Vimto has its origins in <a href="/facts/Northern_England/t8vE0yXq">Northern England</a>, it can now be found both nationally and internationally. The cordial version is more widely sold and is available in concentrate and ready-to-drink varieties. The cordial version was widely known for being suitable for <a href="/facts/Veganism/ENrKFBzz">vegans</a> until Vimto added <a href="/facts/Vitamin_D/No0zQB2W">vitamin D</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> which is derived from sheep's wool,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> in April 2021.
Vimto is also available in a <a href="/facts/Slushy/30hnbDCP">slush</a> variety alongside many other different Vimto confectionery products, such as Vimto bars, lollipops, Rip Rolls, candy sprays, and <a href="/facts/Jelly_Babies/fIAH2TVk">Jelly Babies</a>.
Vimto is also available in the form of an <a href="/facts/Energy_drink/dxzgPqPM">energy drink</a>, Vimto Energy, made with natural <a href="/facts/Caffeine/Hx6E2QC5">caffeine</a> and real fruit juice.
Vimto is also available in a summer flavour, containing ingredients such as <a href="/facts/Orange_(fruit)/qQdDNeL4">orange</a> and <a href="/facts/Apple/SF1WND0v">apple</a>, both of which are <a href="/facts/Squash_(drink)/wcq73Tam">cordial</a> products. Vimto was the UK's fastest-growing soft drinks brand by value in 2006 (as measured by <a href="/facts/NielsenIQ/SatUcnFz">NielsenIQ</a>).
An alcoholic <a href="/facts/Cocktail/henD6BWj">cocktail</a> known as the <a href="/facts/Cheeky_Vimto/WjnVBxqE">Cheeky Vimto</a> or "Crazy Vimto" is also drunk in the UK. However, Vimto is not an ingredient of this beverage, and the name comes from its resemblance to the original product; instead, it contains <a href="/facts/Port_wine/dtDKtMAz">port</a> and <a href="/facts/WKD_Original_Vodka/Cd0vpcLo">Blue WKD</a>. There is also a variant of this cocktail called "Dirty Vimto" that replaces the port with <a href="/facts/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine/vyxoGHlf">Buckfast Tonic Wine</a>.

Vimto is also often made as a hot beverage by simply adding boiling water to the concentrate,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> and is popular in this form throughout the north of England. Vimto is often made with hot water, especially during the winter months. It is also taken to sporting events in vacuum flasks by spectators as a warming drink to fend off the winter chill.
Various alternate-flavoured variants of Vimto were introduced over the years; cherry- and strawberry-flavoured variants, known as "Cherry Vimto" and "Strawberry Vimto", have become part of the range. In 2016, a new variant, "Vimto Remix", was introduced. This range consists of various alternate flavour mixes that were introduced each year – mango, strawberry and pineapple in 2016, raspberry, orange, and passionfruit in 2017, watermelon, strawberry, and peach in 2018 and strawberry, orange and lime in 2019. The "Remix" name was eventually dropped after the drink was rebranded in 2021, while new flavour mixes continue to be introduced.
Homemade variations include a Vimto Milkshake made by adding milk instead of water to the cordial, and a Vimto Milkshake Special involving the same with vanilla ice-cream added.
In June 2023, Vimto launched an energy drink, called Vimto Energy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> It is currently available as a normal version with sugar and a sugar free (zero) version.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a>
