i was born in 1961. i grew up drinking NuGrape soda. since i've been unable to find any in the past few years, i did find an old empty bottle once at a flea market, and bought it. it has a place on an old antique shelf in my kitchen. just looking at it, takes me back to when i was a child. this soda was the only soda i would drink when i was little. i miss it so much.

My sister Margaret and I have been trying to locate our favorite nugrape soda or drink from our childhood days. After reading some of these reviews, I can tell you, if it doesn't taste just like we remember it as kids, we would be broken-hearted to say the least. Checking on some online ordering prices, I'm not so sure I want to pay $22.00+ for the sodas, especially if it didn't taste the same. For those of you whom may not know this, you can check on Amazon.com and make up your own mind!

I recently tried a NuGrape, also in a glass bottle, bottled by Ale 8 One. While it was an adequate grape flavor, I agree that it did not remind me of the flavor it had when I was a kid, when it was one of my favorite flavors. Specifically, it did not have the "bite" it used to and the carbonation seemed low. Maybe the missing malic acid is a factor.

I was happy to discover you website. I had been searching for information on NuGrape using several search engines, Copernic got to yours.
I long remember the unique taste of NuGrape and had been searching for information to identify what gave it the unusual flavor. Being a label reader from childhood, I remember that NuGrape used to contain malic acid, also called grape or fruit acid (it was first discovered in apples); the newer recipe does not contain malic acid. I don't know if that had anything to do with the flavor I tasted or if it is just that people taste different things because of genetics, but there was a taste in NuGrape that I did not taste in any other grape soda, and I think I tried most of them. Still curious.
