Wine gums or fruit gums: which would you choose?

For some, a sweet treat starts with a familiar wine gum; for others, a fruity favourite comes first. How do you choose when both sound tempting? Start with your preferences, then look at the individual product.

Which flavour appeals to you?

Do you want a particular fruit flavour or a selection to try? Use the flavour description as your starting point. A name or picture does not replace the ingredients list: check it separately if the recipe matters to your choice.

What texture do you enjoy?

Look for descriptions such as soft, firm or sugar-coated where the manufacturer uses them. Do not draw a fixed conclusion from the words wine gum or fruit gum alone. Compare the descriptions of the two products you are considering.

Keep your first choice simple

Choose a familiar flavour and perhaps add something different for comparison. Serve them separately so you can discover which texture and finish you enjoy most.
