Topic: Zima


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  Zima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zima directly means "winter" in both Polish and Czech and in transliteration from Russian; the name is also reminiscent of "zymurgy", the science of fermentation, or brew-making.
The slogan used in early advertisements for Zima was "a truly unique alcohol beverage," and that was certainly true in one sense — Zima was literally in a category by itself — an alcoholic beverage that wasn't beer (at least, not obviously), wasn't wine and wasn't hard alcohol.
Zima appeared in the 1996 The Simpsons episode "A Fish Called Selma." When Selma lit a cigarette at a trendy restaurant a man responded, "Excuse me, I ordered a Zima, not emphysema".

Zima, named after the Russian word for "winter," was launched nationally in 1994, with an estimated $50 million spent on advertising that year alone.
While many predicted the drink's impending death, Zima miraculously hung on to life, but the next decade was a turbulent shuffle of reversing brand strategies -- one year targeting men, the next women.
In contrast, the website for Zima Japan, where the drink has enjoyed consistent popularity, is precisely the Flash-saturated, audio-downloadable, stimulation glut you'd expect from the marketing shill that once asked us to join a club called Tribe Z. But in any country, in any language, it still tastes like flat Sprite.
