Lambrini Cherry, 75cl (Case of 6)

Product Information

Over 20 million metric tonnes of ethylene glycol are manufactured each year. It can be converted into several other useful chemicals, like glyoxal, glycolic acid and methyl glycolate, and other uses continue to develop, including the synthesis of nanomaterials. Is there a downside to ethylene glycol? Propylene glycol is much less toxic but diethylene glycol has been implicated in a whole range of poisonings. Like ethylene glycol, it has a very high boiling point (244°C). The most famous diethylene glycol poisoning case occurred in September-October 1937, when an American drug company wanted to market sulphanilamide ( MOTM July 2011), a marvellous but somewhat insoluble antibiotic, in a liquid form. Their chief chemist, Harold Watkins, found that DEG was a very good solvent for sulphanilamide. He added red colouring and raspberry flavour, and the company sold it across the USA. Unfortunately he did no tests for toxicity. Around a hundred people, many of them children, died before it could be recalled. Watkins committed suicide. This led to the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which gave the FDA authority to test all new drugs, and 25 years later this Act prevented thalidomide ( MOTM July 2000) from being used in the USA. Although Lambrini is not a wine but a perry, it is a marketed more in the style of a wine than a traditional perry or cider. [8] Its marketing is targeted at women. [9] [10] The Committee of Advertising Practice published a new edition of their advertising code in 2005, and the campaign for Lambrini was the first to be found non-compliant. [11] The Advertising Standards Authority banned the ad in question for implying that the drink may bring sexual or social success. [12] Herbert, Ian (9 October 2000).

When it was still produced at Huyton Industrial Estate, a small team of factory workers churned out over 20,000 bottles of Lambrini in just one hour with the help of some impressive technology. This is according to an ECHO article published in 2015 describing the manufacturing process. Being Swedish, I’d not heard about Lambrini until I moved to the UK and even though I’ve been here for many years now, I hadn’t tried it until last month. I imagined that it was a very sweet and girly beverage as that’s what it looks like and I thought that maybe it would be a bit too sweet for me. I do love to try new things though, so when I was asked to sample the whole Lambrini range, I was excited to see what it was like.

If doctors diagnose ethylene glycol poisoning early enough, they can administer an antidote, such as ethanol. This binds to the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme in the liver about 100 times more strongly than ethylene glycol does, so that by preventing the ethylene glycol from attaching itself to the liver, the kidneys have the chance to excrete the ethylene glycol unchanged and eliminate it harmlessly from the body. Fomepizole (whose name derived from the chemical name, 4-methylpyrazole) is a newer antidote, and works in the same way as ethanol. On the other hand, another triol, glycerol ( MOTM January 2018), is not toxic at all, being essential to the functioning of the human body. Millar, Rupert (14 July 2010).

And victims chill out with antifreeze. Permanently. You’ve forgotten the Cherry Lambrini case

I. Tennant, A. Crawford-Sykes, L. Ward and C. Thesiger, West Indian Med. J., 2006, 55, 286-287 (poisoning after ingestion of brake fluid)Lambrini is available in Original (6% ABV), Luci (3.5% ABV), Cherry, Peach and Strawberry (all 5% ABV). A 2009 study on alcohol sold in supermarkets and off licences in North East England identified Lambrini as the cheapest alcohol in the wine category, measured on the price of a unit of alcohol. [3] Jacqueline was jailed for 15 years for each charge to be served concurrently (Picture: Central News) In 1985, a scandal engulfed the Austrian wine industry. It was discovered that some wine manufacturers had been adding DEG to their sweet white wines to make them seem sweeter, more like the late-harvest Prädikatswein. Because the DEG concentrations were low, there were no human fatalities, though the Austrian wine industry received an almost-mortal blow. Lambrini has on occasion been accused of deliberate confusion with other wine and perry manufacturers' products beginning with "Lam", such as Lambrusco. [5] [6] [7] Around 2018 Lambrini's alcohol content was reduced to 6.8%, [ citation needed] and in early 2020 Lambrini reduced bottles from 150cl to 125cl, and reduced alcohol content further to 6% ABV.
