Research Facts
Bludwine was a cherry flavoured non-alcoholic drink not advertised explicitly as a medicine, but as having a "tonic effect" and being "a gentle stimulant and restorative for tired nerves" which "aids digestion." The Bludwine Company was founded by Henry C. Anderson in 1906 in Georgia, U.S.A. The company had bottling plants in New York, Georgia, Texas, and Florida. In 1912, the United States Bureau of Chemistry examined Bludwine as part of an information brought against the company, and found that it was made of 0.142% Citric acid, 0.066% Phosphoric acid, 62.5% Eosin (red) dye, 0.11% Alcohol, 0.11% Ash, 1.2% Sucrose, and the total sugar as invert was 63.7%. The comany name was changed to Budwine in 1921 and it closed in 1995.
