Interesting question. What are the flavors?

While they have the names of wines printed on them (PORT and SHERRY come to mind), they certainly don't taste like wine. But they are not like ju jubes either. They are less sweet, chewier and subtler in flavor.

I don't even know how to describe the flavors. They are possibly loosely based on wines but they're still candy. They are fruity. I would say the dark ones are some kind of wild berry.

It sounds like something I would enjoy, I found them on Amazon, I am going to but them.
 
I had to do some research. It seems that there is no exact answer about the flavors. There is debate. There is lemon and there is lime - that is agreed. The orange ones are probably orange or maybe tangerine. People debate which berry the red ones are.

But as I say the flavors are not just sweet and straight-forward like jujubes. There is something subversive about the presentations of the tastes. Slightly . . . I dunno what it is . . .

I am excited to try them!
I feel that taking the idea of Jelly bellies, and making candies that taste like wine and beers and coctails would be awesome. I wonder if that already exists? TO THE GOOGLE MUDDAYYYY!!
