Wincarnis tonic wine is a popular drink in the Caribbean, and is now one of the UK's top exports to Jamaica.

The British Journal of Nursing in 1929 stated: "Many nurses have found that in anaemic and debilitated conditions, during convalescence, and in post-operation cases, Wincarnis stimulates appetite, promotes digestion, and effects marked improvement in nutrition." And it's not just Brits who enjoy its remedial benefits; new mothers in Singapore, Malaysia and the Gulf are fans, as are older generations of Jamaicans who drink it when they are unwell.

Made in Norfolk by Broadland Wineries, Wincarnis is a blend of enriched wine and malt extract infused with select therapeutic herbs and spices including: gentian root, mugwort, angelica root, balm mint, fennel seed, coriander seed, peppermint leaves, cardamom seeds and cassia bark . A natural tonic it is traditionally recognised for its ability to combat common ailments and alleviate their symptoms. Rich in vitamins, especially energy-giving Vitamin B complex, it can have a great effect on the circulation system and blood pressure.

With an ABV of 14%, the tonic is easy to drink without the guilt of feeling indulgent as it is great to keep you healthy on the inside and tastier than probiotic yoghurts.

Served straight or with gin to create 'win and gin', it is a refreshing drink served over ice and is great used as a mixer, it's very similar to Pimms and is a very versatile drink. Jamaicans mix it with Guinness and milk for 'extra stamina'.

Wincarnis is golden in colour and smells like warm Christmas pudding. Smooth and warm to drink, its pallet is smooth and sherry-like.
