Germany’s Non-Alcoholic Organic Soda Finally Arrives in America
At a time when America is clearly ready for change, consumers in California can now experience a refreshing change when drinking BIONADE. Already a huge success in Europe, BIONADE is the world’s first and still unique non-alcoholic organic refreshment drink. Brewed and bottled in Germany, BIONADE is produced by a patented organic fermentation process.
“Basically, they start the brewing process with organic barley malt and water.
Instead of adding yeast microorganism which ferments sugar into alcohol, they add a different microorganism that ferments the sugar into Gluconic Acid” said Douglas Martin, local distributor of BIONADE. “This mild acid strengthens the taste of natural sugar, giving BIONADE its unique taste with only a fraction of the sugar found in normal soft drinks, and without using any corn syrup.”
BIONADE is available in 4 unique flavors: Elderberry, Ginger-Orange, Lychee and Herbs. The local chefs in California have already started pairing the different flavors with certain foods. “Unlike most normal soft drinks that are full of sugar and dominate the taste buds, BIONADE is a perfect compliment to any food” Martin said.
He added “The appeal of BIONADE is also not limited to a specific demographic. My son is 3 years old and he loves BIONADE. I also have no problem giving him BIONADE because it's organic, low in sugar and high in calcium & magnesium.“
Since its first introduction in 1995, annual sales for BIONADE have grown from less than 1 million bottles sold the first year to over 200 million bottles sold in 2007. The remarkable success of BIONADE in Europe has caught the attention of several beverage distributors stateside, eager to continue the success story here in America. As the local distributor Martin will cover San Luis Obispo & Santa Barbara counties. He goes on to explain “The people at BIONADE were glad to work with me because I lived in Europe for 18 years. As a beverage distributor in Germany I saw the birth & growth of BIONADE. I understand the product.”
