...for Amé!
=== ~ Amé (The Name) ~ ===
'Amé' is derived from the Japanese word for 'gentle rain' so I think that the name comes from the ingredients, which contain spring water. It is mainly a blend of sparkling water with fruit juices and oriental herbs, all combined together to form that unique taste.
=== ~ Amé (The company) ~ ===
Amé is manufactured by Orchid Drinks Ltd. This company formed not long ago, in 1992, as a subsidiary of Britvic.
... ...poured a huge glass of Amé (grape and apricot) and I really mean a big glass! I was really tempted to try this flavour.
It was very sweet and fruity and crisp, with a very noticeable sweetness. It was so sweet that I turned the bottle to see how much sugar is on the drink, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there was no added sugar at all! I really liked the marriage of the two fruits; it was very refreshing and ultra tasty with the added ...

Advantages: Nice Drink and You will not need to worry if you are driving. Disadvantages: Not sold in every shop, should be sold in off licences too.
Being on lots of meds for my health means I could not drink, even if I wanted to, a good friend introduced me to a drink called Ame as a celebratary drink at the christening of thier 1st child. Now there are various ones in thier range, with names reflecting the Martini products.
The Ame range is ideal to keep in stock for the festive period for people who don't drink or for people that are going to be driving throughout Christmas and the New Year
... ...in Sweet, Crisp Dry, Rose and Red, so sounds like wine, even smells a little like wine too. The drink comes in glass bottles, (not plasic like some soft drinks) All the ranges of Ame are lightly sparking. The amount you get per bottle is 750ml of this nice drink. Ame can be purchased at Morrisons, Asda or Tesco, those are the stores that deffinatly sell it,, I could not tell you though of others as we don;t have any other major supermarket near by. ...
