I am surprised the article doesn't mention its association with African-American culture.

That's because there isn't one. It's a stereotype that was made up by a couple of idiots, just like all stereotypes. SOW93 (talk) 20:59, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible article[edit]

Grape Soda does not have to be water, sugar, and artificial flavoring. If you go to most supermarkets in the United States, you will find premium grape soda that is actually made from grape juice. Infact, it is the most widely available premium softdrink in the world. To find a ginger ale or a rootbeer that is actually brewed is quite rare for example, but it is very easy to find a premium grape soda. It is often used in ceremonies as a childrens substitute for wine such as at weddings 68.188.25.170 (talk) 23:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion[edit]

these are unsource opinion so I moved them to talk: RJFJR (talk)

With the import of Fanta brand Grape Soda and the ever multiplying sales of it and similar products, Glasgow has become known as the European home of Grape Soda.

Grape soft drinks (especially those without grape juice) often contain very high levels of sodium benzoate, and this often imparts a slight metallic taste to the beverage. Other additives commonly found in grape soft drinks include rosin and sodium hexametaphosphate.

Article title[edit]

In the UK, the title grape drink makes no sense in reference to the article. Loosely it could be grape juice from white, red or black grapes, made from concentrate or not from concentrate, with or without added sweeteners, flavouring and bubbles. Or it could be an imitation of grape juice and legally required to be given a name other than grape juice. In other words it's simply a warning that the drink probably doesn't contain much grape juice, not an indication that it does contain the ingredients mentioned in the article, or indeed that it's purple. The terminology allowed will be defined by EU regulations, and might well require it to be called grape flavoured if the grape content is below a certain value.

I see that the original title was grape soda, which at least indicates that we're talking about an American fizzy drink or something along those lines.

Either the title needs changing or the first sentence needs to explicitly clarify the context, eg "In north American usage, grape drink loosely refers to . . . " But really, an internationally recognisable term is needed. Or possibly, an entirely different article that discusses the various different types all the way from pure grape juice to entirely synthetic drinks.
