Product Description
The original Almdudler is a sweetened carbonated beverage made of grape and apple juice concentrates flavoured with herbal extracts. Its flavour is similar to ginger ale or elderflower cordial, but with a somewhat fruitier and more bitter flavour. Almdudler has been called the "national drink of Austria" Its popularity in Austria is second only to Coca-Cola. About 80 million litres of the beverage are produced per year. After three years of development, Almdudler was produced from 1957 by the Viennese entrepreneur Erwin Klein (19241983). According to the company's website, he derived the name from the then-common phrase auf der Alm dudeln, which means "yodeling in the (alpine) pasture". The drink was originally created and marketed as an alternative to alcoholic beverages or as a mixer for alcoholic drinks. (C) Wikipedia
