Lambrini Original Lightly Sparkling Perry, 75cl

Product Information

The second problem of pushing the boundaries is well illustrated by Lambrini’s tenacious attempt to retain the strapline ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ in the face of repeated advice from the regulator that it is “ targeting young girls, and promotes getting pissed”, and therefore unacceptable. Only when a young woman died after a Lambrini drinking binge and the strapline appeared in newspaper coverage of the death did Lambrini feel there might be benefits in relinquishing it. Lambrini has been a popular choice of drink since its creation in 1994 and was produced at the Halewood International factory in Huyton for over 20 years. Although presented as a wine, the tipple is actually a fruity pear cider. The documents demonstrate that attempts to control the content of alcohol advertising suffer from two systemic failings. First, the sophisticated communications and subtle emotional associations such as ‘sociability’ and ‘masculinity’ that comprise modern advertising (and sponsorship) often defy intelligent analysis by the regulator. Second, producers and agencies can exploit the ambiguities in the codes and push the boundaries of both acceptability and adjudication. McCubbin, Scott (April 2003). "Getting the drinks in".

I think it’s extremely important that people who do come from a place of privilege are being very vocal about issues like this, because that’s what it’s all about. It’s about changing people’s minds and everyone coming together and actually working towards a common goal” Or, as it’s known to some of you, one half of a cheeky Vimto (Charlotte Church, we’re looking at you). B) ‘Mostly drunk by females who claim to be ‘classy’. However, after one bottle they hump anything with a pulse and ejaculate all their bodily fluids outside the nightclub’Although Lambrini is not a wine but a perry, it is a marketed more in the style of a wine than a traditional perry or cider. [8] Its marketing is targeted at women. [9] [10] The Committee of Advertising Practice published a new edition of their advertising code in 2005, and the campaign for Lambrini was the first to be found non-compliant. [11] The Advertising Standards Authority banned the ad in question for implying that the drink may bring sexual or social success. [12] With special thanks to Accolade Wines for sending us a crate of Lambrini to drink with the band, we quiz the Lambrini Girls on their knowledge of the brand with questions inspired by their recent EP. But after a crate of Lambrini (and with Urban Dictionary and Reddit being our points of reference) this quiz is not to be taken seriously. I did love the So Strawberry (ABV 5%) one — it tasted like liquid strawberry, like summer in a glass. Delicious and and perfect for a girly get-together in the garden.

Because sponsorship is not explicitly covered by the codes, producers can take advantage of the ambiguity regarding its regulation. Two particularly interesting examples of this are WKD’s sponsorship of the Nuts (a blatantly sexual lad’s magazine) ‘football awards’, which it argued to the Committee did not transgress rules prohibiting the association of alcohol with sporting or sexual success, and ITV’s sponsorship of the show ‘Coleen’s Real Women’, featuring Coleen Rooney. In the latter case, although the use of (then) 23-year old Coleen was in direct contravention of the codes stating that models should not look or be under 25, and despite cautions from regulatory advisers that it was “ very likely to breach the Code”, the show went ahead on ITV2 because technically it qualified as sponsorship, not advertising. 6. New Media The bubbly range currently includes five flavours: So Strawberry, Very Cherry, Truly Peach, Always Original and Skinny Original. Truly Peach (ABV 5%) was the first one I tried and it was so delicious! It’s so summery and fruity, sweet but not too sweet, and perfect enjoyed chilled in the sunshine.Lambrini will now join Accolade staples such as Hardys and Echo Falls as part of the group’s “ambitious sustainable growth strategy”. We are also delighted to announce that the carbon-neutral status of Accolade Wines Europe will be extended across the Lambrini portfolio, further supporting our ambition to reduce emissions across the industry.” The Always Original (ABV 7.5%) is a sparkling, medium sweet perry and tastes similar to some ciders in my opinion. It’s very tasty and refreshing and is a less sweet option to the flavoured Lambrini drinks. The Skinny Original (ABV 3.5%) tastes very similar but has just half the amount of calories so is a great choice if you’re counting calories. It’s sweetened with sweeteneres which has a slight aftertaste but it’s very mild. It’s also got half the amount of alcohol compared to the Always Original so is a good choice for a drink to go with lunch for example. Lambrini has on occasion been accused of deliberate confusion with other wine and perry manufacturers' products beginning with "Lam", such as Lambrusco. [5] [6] [7] Around 2018 Lambrini's alcohol content was reduced to 6.8%, [ citation needed] and in early 2020 Lambrini reduced bottles from 150cl to 125cl, and reduced alcohol content further to 6% ABV. Accolade chief executive, Robert Foye, said: “Lambrini has such a strong heritage and is loved by British consumers. We are excited about the role the brand will play in our broader strategic growth plans for the UK and Europe.”
