Mr Norling said Frucor's future performance
would be linked to how much support V received in Britain and
Ireland.
The energy drink had already built up a big following in New Zealand and
Australia.
Another analyst said if V were able to capture reasonable market share in
Britain and Ireland this would drive up the share price. Otherwise the
stock would battle.

Like other Chatters I thought I ought to sample this magic potent so
bought a small can for $1.70. (250ml).
Did someone say " disgusting " I heartily agree - took me ages
to get the aftertaste out of my mouth. Certainly won't replace Chardonnay
or Sauv. Blanc in my book. My wife thought it was some sort of unpleasant
medicine ! And the recommended dose is 5 cans a day !!
As for the Irish I can't see it replacing Guinness !
Good job they have Just Juice, Fresh-up etc and I like their
McCoy's Tomato Juice
However I noticed that the younger fraternity seemed to go for this 'V'
substance so maybe it is just another example of being out of touch with
the younger generation !!
