Flavors of Shloer
Let’s talk about the delicious flavors like white grapes flavor in the chart above! Each of the different “ranges” has its own special method of being brewed.
All of the Shloer soft drinks are blended with grape juice.
Pressed
What goes great with grape juice?
Try some apple juice blended into it! The pressed Shloer (chilled drink) each contains an apple-based blend to match the grape juice (alcohol-free drinks) that you know and love.
These pressed drinks come in three flavors: rhubarb and apple, strawberry and lime, and mixed berries.
Imagine the delicious taste of strawberry, lime, and grape! All three pressed ranges are slightly dryer than the other ranges.
Bubbly
Are you celebrating a birthday, graduation, retirement, or just having a great group of friends over for a party?
Make sure you have Shloer Bubbly at your party!
It will be talked about for years to come if you do!
There are two flavors: white bubbly, and pink bubbly. This type of blend is particularly sparkling – the more bubbles, the more there is to celebrate!
Core
The core range is your best bet if you aren’t feeling too fancy, but you still want some great grape juice.
Keep this in the house for when your children do well in school, when you just had a rough day at work and want to relax a little bit, or just because it tastes so good.
You can get the core range in rosé, white grape, and red grape.
The core is just the simple taste of grape juice with no extra flair – but that doesn’t make it any less tasty than the other great blends!

This is for the most adventurous of drinkers – you have been warned!

Does Shloer Taste Like Wine?
Even though Shloer is not alcoholic, it has one thing in common with wine: lots of different options to choose from.
You can also pair your Shloer with your meal, similar to how you would pair red wine with meat and white wine with fish.
However, Shloer does not taste like wine.
According to a woman known as Ms. Bittner, “it tastes like grape juice (sometimes in a fruit juice blend) with carbonation.”
Ms. Bittner also goes on to say that even though Shloer does not taste like wine, it is still incredibly tasty… and, that both wine and Shloer look nice in a glass.
Don’t let the fact that Shloer doesn’t taste like wine glass prevents you from serving it at your next baby shower!
A thread on mumsnet.com has two women say that they would love to have some Shloer of any flavor while they are pregnant.
One of these women goes on to say that, although Shloer is sweeter than wine, it is a great alternative to it!
Is there Caffeine in Shloer?
No, there is no caffeine in Shloer.
That is just one of many reasons it is a better alternative to sodas, which often have the same amount of caffeine as half of a cup of coffee.
Now, you can have a drink that tastes great and not have to worry about a caffeine crash later in the day.
This also makes the drink better for children to have.
You already know that children are bundles and bundles of energy, to begin with – do you really want to give a child more of that energy after a long day of work?
Giving your children Shloer not only prevents their energy levels from rising exponentially, but it also is a healthier alternative to soda, with all of its extra sugars and other flavorings.
Shloer has been in business for over 80 years.
The sparkling juice (sparkling water) is made with real fruit juice. There are no preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial sweeteners.
It is tasty and fun for everyone involved!
While you’re having your children drink healthily, you can teach them too! Bottles of Shloer occasionally change color while people are drinking them.
Since Shloer only uses natural ingredients in their drinks, the color of the actual liquid depends on the grapes that were harvested. Tell that to their science teacher!
