Maynards Wine Gums 2x170g Bags

Maynards Wine Gums - a fab chew and a little softer than the Lions brand we also stock. Now for a history lesson.

Charles Riley Maynard began producing sweets with his brother Tom in 1880, whilst his wife, Sarah Ann, served their customers.   Maynards began in 1896, having expanded its’ manufacturing, wholesales and retail businesses in these few years.  Wine Gums were first developed in 1909.  Devised by Charles Gordon Maynard, the son had difficulty persuading a teetotal Charles Snr. that the sweets did not contain wine.  The unique and distinctive flavours have become a staple part of the UK confectionery market where they are today’s leading fruit sweet. Not a lot of people know that!
