== "Cherrywine" ==cheerwine was created by a klutz People often refer to the drink as "cherrywine," and many people think it is an actual alcoholic beverage.
Is this true? I've lived in the Southeast all my life, and I've never heard it called "Cherrywine", nor have I ever met someone who thought it was alcoholic.

I've heard this, but I believe that it was called that due to the horrible dialect of the area that I'm originally from. Suamme1 19:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard anyone refer to it as "cherrywine," but their current ad campaign (at least on radio) revolves around a convenience store clerk that refuses to sell the product to minors (and is shocked to learn that there is no beer in root beer). It would definitely fall in line with why it's called Cheerwine in the first place (according to the article anyway). - TM

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cheerwine.jpg

Image:Cheerwine.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:59, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] its now in california. and its caffinated.

one should note that this is one of the few (or maybe only?) fruit flavored soda that is caffienated. grape, lemon, orange, strawberry and other fruit sodas are never caffienated. also Save Mart Supermarkets, a chain of grocery stores in the central valley of California now stocks it regularly on their shelves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.8.249.246 (talk) 23:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Is it available in Southern California? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.35.112 (talk) 08:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popularity outside the South

This is probably less the case with increased distribution, but for some time Cheerwine enjoyed a certain novelty status outside the southeast. It was coveted by northerners and this even figured into one of Cheerwine's ad campaigns ("Yankees Hoarding Cheerwine"). Anecdotally when I visited a friend in Boston he asked me to bring "a lot of Cheerwine" because of the novelty appeal. If I recall Cheerwine was also cast in a similar light during a cameo of sorts in an episode of King of Queens.

A Pop Culture section might make sense for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.215.132.137 (talk) 15:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
