In 2014, Grape won the first place in the market share of functional drinks in the UK market, but after being sold by the parent company GlaxoSmithKline to the Japanese company Suntory, it withdrew from the mainland market and sold only in Hong Kong in China.
In Hong Kong, grapes were once used as the best souvenir for visiting patients, and it was believed that the glucose in grapes was beneficial to the human body. Grape has indeed been considered an effective emergency option for the treatment of hypoglycemia, with 100ml providing 15-20 grams of carbohydrates. However, in 2018, Grape changed its formula to reduce the sugar content to less than 100ml/5g, and nurses no longer used it as an over-the-counter carbohydrate supplement. This is of course to avoid the UK's sugar tax and cater to the demand of consumers who want low-sugar healthy drinks, but it is not convincing to use grapes as a gift for visiting patients, not to mention that as an energy drink, 380ml of grapes contains 46mg of caffeine, which may keep patients awake at night without preparation.
The taste of grapes is very controversial, especially the original flavor, some people are obsessed with this similar potion mixed with metallic flavors, accompanied by a hint of citric acid, and others say that it is difficult to swallow and cannot be used as a drink. Oranges, pink lemonade, and Caribbean fruits are more primary, and the flavors are less dramatic. Grape Zero is a more thorough sugar-free version, with three flavors of original, orange and pink lemonade to improve, which is less mellow and full-bodied than the original, but has a fresh taste, so although it is not as impressive as Monster, it is much better than Hi Bang. Both series are around 8HKD, and online purchasing can be as low as 6 yuan per piece.
