Wine Gums have been a household name for years and were first invented over 100 years ago! In contrast to their name, Wine Gums contain no alcohol, but each coloured sweet is named after a type of wine. Wine Gums are traditionally made in 5 shapes: kidney, crown, rhombus, circle, and oblong (and also in a variety of colours). Which is your favourite shape and colour? Nothing will ever beat the classic Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts! In 1899, a confectionary sale representative dropped a tray of the liquorice delights and mixed them all up (when scrambling them off of the floor to save them). Intrigued by the jumbled-up colourful creation, Bassetts started manufacturing their allsorts on a mass scale and they've been around ever since! Are you a fan? Medium Sweet Jar - Contains over 1.8kg and the jar measures 19cm (height) x 13cm (width) x 13cm (depth).
