Image showing: Sainsbury's Alcohol Free Long Island Iced Tea; Sainsbury's Alcohol Free Pina Colada; Sainsbury's Alcohol Free Tequila Sunrise; Sainsbury's Diet Gio; Sainsbury's Gio; Sainsbury's Blackberry Flavour Crystal Spa; Sainsbury's Cherry Flavour Crystal Spa. The picture is featured in 'JS Journal' July 1993 page 21. 'JS Journal' describes the products: "JS has launched several new ranges of soft drinks with fresh ideas to provide a taste for everyone. Gio is the first supermarket own label alternative to the major brands' sparkling lemon and lime drinks. It contains real fruit juice. The packaging of this drink is exclusive to JS. It is the first all steel drinks can, and has the added feature of the unique Ecotop. This is a new, easy-to-use opening system, incorporating two push down buttons. The first small button is pressed to release the pressure in the can, and the second larger one reveals the drinking/pouring aperture. As the whole can is made of a single metal sheet, it is easy to recycle. Gio retails at an introductory offer of six cans for 99p and 69p for a two litre bottle. New alcohol-free cocktails are also the first of their kind to be launched by a supermarket. Long Island Iced Tea, Pina Colada and Tequila Sunrise contain fruit juices and flavourings as a substitute to alcohol. These 250ml cans retail at 29p. Also new are Crystal Spa waters. These lightly sparkling spring waters have a natural blackberry or cherry flavouring. These retail at 49p for a 250ml bottle."
