Vimto

Vimto was created in 1908 by John Noel Nichols in a warehouse at 49 Granby Row, in Manchester city centre as a healthy pick-me-up cordial designed to counteract the ‘evils’ of alcohol. It was originally sold under the name Vim Tonic, which Nichols shortened to Vimto in 1912. It was originally registered as a health tonic or medicine, which was then re-registered in 1913 as a cordial.

It contains the juice of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants (in a 3% concentration), flavoured with herbs and spices. One of the first factories for the production of the drink was across the River Irwell in Salford close to the site of Vimto Gardens.
