    I have visited Sainsburys, Asda, Tesco and Morrisons and none have any own brand ginger beer in stock. What is the reason for this as they do have other Carbonated drinks in stock

    As a previous poster pointed out, the own branded GB is from a supplier who gets the C02 from a supplier that has closed whereas the branded ones get it from a dupplier who is still open or maybe the supermarkets depots have a supply of the branded lines.

    Went to Sainsbury's today. They had no flavoured fizzy water from any brand including their own. They also only had two Volvic options for non fizzy water. At Tesco on Saturday the only own brand fizzy soft drinks were in cans.

    Got ASDA own brand diet lemonade 6 pack delivered Friday. It's very lemony too !

    Volvic comes from France but is it bottled in the UK ? It's not naturally carbonated like Badoit and Vichy. Perrier is another French water with added carbonation. That might be tankered in and carbonated here ??

    Some of Tesco!!!8217;s own brand carbonated drinks are also affected by a shortage due to a factory fire.

    Aldi have plenty of lemonade in, at least in my local store and I prefer it to other brands.

    I got a bottle of the 4ldi diet cola today.... 17p. Just to try it to "eke out" my stock of my favourite fizzy.

    Tried it, expecting it to be "not much different" to colas/etc .... it's minging. Not fizzy enough, not syrupy enough.

    I'm down to my last six 2-litre bottles of my favourite stuff.... but not overly bothered to be honest.

    It does one good to "go without" sometimes - and it's not forever.
