Just back from holiday in Malta and looked up Kinnie for availability in UK. So glad to see it is being sold in London But how about some in Chemsford or through some of the big food stores as it is a long drive from here to London. Will go for some Kinnie though - love it!!

So glad that Kinnie has finally made it to England. Please Please lets market it in the South where a lot of Maltese people actually live

What a shame I m leaving London tomorrow for Malta. I had to settle for other products. I could have done with a can of kinnie. Oh well for next time.

For those of you in London, a colleague of mine at work managed to find diet kinnie in a small Asian shop in Soho on Wardour street just off Oxford street :)

What took you so long Mr. Kinnie?
This has made my day, nay! my week.
In this alone if nothing else, Malta has been ahead of the times. I mean, that slightly bitter taste, it is sooooooo 2010.
When is a Jubilee Bar selling Kinnie and Pastizzi opening in London? The capital is awash with 'arcade' outlets selling Cornish, and Mexican, and whatever else delicious, scrumptious 'rubbish'. Pastizzi and imqaret will hold their own at least. And a Kinnie please. Is this too much to ask for us exiles? Malta is in the EU. This should be easy. Please. And don't forget the Cisk. We get Polish beer, and Czech, and Japanese. And we'd get Afghani beer too if they made it. So why not Cisk and Farsons Blue Label? Why not indeed.
Let's put Malta on the Internation culinary map (no Maltese restaurants in London as far as I know. Shame!!). Any more good news (especially about Mr. Kinnie), please contact me on:
[email protected]
Come on! don't be shy.

A few years ago one could buy kinnie in Sweden. But it did not last so long i am sorry to say. So i have to wait until i go to Malta to enjoy it there as it has always been my favourite drink since i was little. Any body knows the recipe ? (ha ha ) thank you farsons.

My most sincere congratulations to Farsons in this venture.

And yes, Maltese products like Kinnie and Twistees should be exported around the whole world.

What happened to Snax?

The snacks themselves were delicious...and oh how I miss those large bagged toys and cartoon character figures I used to find inside!

Superman, Batman, Speedy Gonzales...the list was endless.

And in different colours!

Which made them highly collectible items!

Bring back the 70s and 80s please!

Who said that under Mintoff's rule life was boring?

We were in paradise back then, but unfortunately some didn't even know it!

Finally!!!!!! A trip to London will have to happen soon! At least i dont need to travel back to Surrey with 3 months supply of Kinnie! Cisk and twistees to follow now and please lets try and make them readily available in the big supermarkets!!! Good luck Farsons

Chris Borg

Sep 19th 2010, 10:19

Great news finally -- what about Glasgow & Edinburgh pls? Don't forget Scotland - there are lots of Maltese and Kinnie lovers here too.

Karl Abela

Sep 19th 2010, 10:09

I appeal to Farsons to ensure that Kinnie is served right. It should be ice cold and served with a slice of orange and not luke warm with no gas.

we need kinnie and twistees here in holland aswell please please

Diana Posey

Sep 19th 2010, 03:11

That`s really good!! I do hope that one day it will make it all the way to the United States too !! I miss my favorite drink!!

Ilaria Sullivan

Sep 19th 2010, 01:33

I travelled for an hour & a half and waited in a queue for 30min last week just to buy kinnie at a Maltese fair here in London (which only happens once a year)... Im soooo glad its finally gonna be on sale here.... Its one of the few things I truly miss from back home!!

Can someone tell me where I can find it? Cause the website isnt working =((

And I agree with everyone else... Twistees should surely be next on the list... kinnie wouldn't be complete without them!

Finally Kinnie in London! Can't wait!

I wish the Farsons Group the best of luck on their future endeavours. This shows that local products can hold their own, even abroad. As long as the product is genuine and pricing is kept in check, with no cutting of corners, local products are as good (even better may I say) then foreign ones.
One fine example...the other day, instead of purchasing locally produced veg to make a salad, I decided to opt for a foreign ready cut and produced mixed fresh salad in a 500g pkg. Looked nice, fresh and crispy I must say, and saved a couple of euros, however the salad was completely tasteless...

Certain local products come to mind, such as real olive oil, wine and honey.. where I am afraid to say that although the products are good, the pricing is abnormally high compared to some Italian products.

Here, in central London, I haven't been able to find KINNIE in any restaurants or bars. It's my favourite soft drink. Since leaving Malta, I really miss it - also TWISTEES and CISK - all great Maltese products. Please start exporting these. Catherine Leuz

Great news that at long last Kinnie is available in Great Britain (London) so could we now have it supplied over here on the Isle of Man as it is costing me a fortune to spend four months of each year holidaying in Malta to satisfy my addiction to Kinnie. An incredible drink, especially from bottles. In three weeks I shall be back again, so step up production!

Dr Joe Brincat

Last week I was teasing my granddaughter who is five on Monday over Skype. She lives in Leicester. I asked her whether she was having Kinnie, which she loves when she's on holiday here. "Oh we don't have it here !"

I sincerely wish good luck to Farsons in this venture.

But what about making it available also in family bottles and sold in supermarkets ?

And not only in London, please.

Ton Keepers

Sep 18th 2010, 07:32

Kinnie, please contact Aldi, Lidl or Albert Heijn so they can put it on their supermarket shelves.

What about every state of Australia, beside Sydney New South Wales and Melbourne Victoria

Kinnie: Send some to Peterborough UK and SW France please!

Try this website for Twisties in the UK - you can mail order them.

Good Luck to Farsons in this venture. Kinnie has what it takes to compete with any big brand ... if there is a sufficient strong and persistent marketing push

Gerry Cowie

Sep 17th 2010, 20:10

Thank Heaven! It's not as good as it is out of bottles, but this will mean no more having to carry back tins from duty free! Already I am off the hook from having to bring some back! Next, please, a decent pastizzi outlet and Cisk!!

Robert Sant Fournier

Sep 17th 2010, 19:17

Here in the Boston, USA area we already have Cisk, maybe it will be easy to include Kinnie!

Danny Apap

Sep 17th 2010, 18:14

I’m waiting for not just Kinnie but Cisk Lager and Maltese wine to be on sale in Reading too, not before time BIRNG IT ON!!

Jamie De Cesare

Sep 17th 2010, 17:56

Excellent news! Am trying to locate stockists - anybody knows which food chain will be providing this? And as with the general request here - Twistees should be next!

Michael Mangion

Sep 17th 2010, 17:01

At last! This is my favourite soft drink ever and I've only been waiting 25 years for it to follow me. Can Twistees be next please?

Noel Enriquez

Sep 17th 2010, 16:51

I want Cisk not Kinnie!! :)

Jason Azzopardi

Sep 17th 2010, 16:44

Great news, really pleased this hs been launched in the UK.Only hope Cisk follows suit, I love these drinks and cant get them anywhere in England, can anyone out there advise of stockists??

Joseph Herbert

Sep 17th 2010, 16:14

Great news and everything and good luck to the promoters, I believe the product is up to the standard required to compete in a foreign market.

However, going through the UK website and Facebook page, I noticed that the imagery used for the promotion depicts glass bottles. So why has this type of bottle vanished from the loal market with all the environment implications this brought?

James Pullicino

Sep 17th 2010, 15:56

If I see any in the shops I'll buy some and bring them over next time I visit Malta.

BRILLIANT well done farsons now i dont have to go with my suitcases and hand luggage full up with kinnie each time i go to see the kids and grandchildren, it was getting to the point that after introducing kinnie to their freinds in the uk they rarely got any left for themselves, we spent 34yrs in the UK and twice a year going back for holidays since retiring we have had to make the kinnie trek, now they can get it them selves thank god

I have tried many other soft drinks (foreign ones included) and without wanting to sound too jingoistic, I have yet to find a better one than Kinnie.

Waiting for Kinnie in the U.S.A.!!
Please

Moyra A Borg

Sep 17th 2010, 14:53

I think that I need to go on a day trip to London to buy Kinnie! At long last it is here, thirty one years and eleven days after I arrived in England! What a wait! ;-)

Tony Borg

Sep 17th 2010, 14:33

I am 63 years old and have always enjoyed Kinnie since its inception!
Nothing compares to the flavour: not too bitter not too sweet.

I can safely say it is one of the most successful product wholly produced in Malta.

Well done KINNIE !!!

Michael Curmi

Sep 17th 2010, 14:30

Just found out where kinnie is actually available in london , check out ,kinniedrinks.com , this is great news !!

Lorraine Cassar

Sep 17th 2010, 14:27

It's about time this was tried out on the British market. I always liked to introduce this to British holidaymakers as our national soft drink when I was a representative and they used to get hooked on it for the rest of their holiday. Its a great alternative to cola and brilliant for people who don't like alcohol. Good luck with the campaign!
