	Vimto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vimto is a red soft drink in the United Kingdom.
		Vimto was first formulated in 1908 by Manchester herb importer John Noel Nichols, who saw the market opening for soft drinks due to the temperance movement and the passage of the 1908 Licencing Act (which attempted to drastically reduce the number of licenced premises in England and Wales).
		Vimto was, somewhat confusingly, also made under license in the United Kingdom by A.G. Barr until recently.

		For those who are from the south of England and/or older than eight, the name Vimto might sound rather like an industrial kitchen cleaner, but it is, in fact, a sweet, fruity cordial that's big with the kids and even bigger in the North.
		To our uninitiated group, for whom Vimto remains an unknown potion of juices, malt and sodium benzoate, it is something of an acquired taste.
		Vimto may even be harking back to its roots: it was created as a healthy, non-alcoholic tonic to give grown-ups "vigour and vim" (hence Vim to-nic).
