International Distribution
Coca-Cola Cherry has been offered in a number of different countries. Currently, in addition to the U.S., the drink is available in China, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Germany, France, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Bulgaria, Peru and Uruguay. It is also available in Japan, but is still known as Cherry Coke in that country. It is available in Ireland through British pharmaceutical chains such as Boots and Superdrug. Cherry Coke is also available in Belgium but only in cans of 250 ml. In New Zealand Coca-Cola Cherry can be found in some supermarkets. In the past the product has been offered in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Latvia, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines. It is no longer bottled in these countries, apparently due to poor sales, and because of a ban by the Canadian government, although the U.S. product is illegally imported by some Canadian convenience stores near the Canada-U.S. border, as well as by IGA, Costco and specialty retailers in Australia. In Sweden it's available at different grocery stores. The grocery stores source their goods from import from USA and the self-produced Coca Cola cherry from Coca Cola enterprises Sweden. In Norway, Cherry Coke is available at Reitan Group stores.
Since January 2011, Coca-Cola Cherry is also available in Switzerland distributed by Coop.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
