Abstract:

Cheerwine, a burgundy-colored cola with a hint of lemon-lime, was first bottled in Salisbury, in Rowan County, in 1917. Cheerwine still remains a family-owned business. The company has begun marketing outside the state and also has developed a respectable mail-order business for North Carolinians who have moved away.
