Farsons hopes to open up new doors and opportunities in the UK retail market in the not too distant future, the company said.

In a statement this morning it said that the company was encouraged by Kinnie's success on Amazon.co.uk.

Since its launch on the site in August, Kinnie has been regularly ranked as one of the site's top selling beverages.

A better than expected response from tourists, regular visitors to Malta and Maltese living in the in UK was triggered and "we can already notice a pick up in sales with many consumers letting us know of their intentions to celebrate their Christmas in the UK with Kinnie," Michael Farrugia, director, said.

Kinnie is produced, marketed and distributed by Simonds Farsons Cisk plc.
