        It does not taste like wet bread if that’s what you are afraid of. Also not like nonalcoholic beer. It’s kind of hard to describe it, but it is a normal / not too weird tasting drink. Quality and taste varies quite a bit between different brands.

        There are also many that are not true kvass, but drinks with kvass flavouring so that’s another thing to keep in mind.

    Rivella, a Swiss soda produced from milk whey.

    And nothing special about the Migros Ice Tea, it is an Ice tea, but it is the best tasting one in the world and a casus belli for war in Switzerland (yeah, the only reason we have to fight).

      True people drank Mivella. It tasted way better.

      The new thing in Switzerland is El Tony Mate. It’s so popular that Lidl and Aldi introduced their own versions.

        I do drink a lot of El Tony Mate in bars that have very few non alcoholic choices. It is very nice.

      I was wondering what it tastes like. It’s 35% whey according to Wikipedia, so I’m guessing that for “original” /“plain”, it’s watered down whey flavored? Seems like there are lots of flavors of it too.

      Red, Blue, Green, Refresh, Grapefruit, Mint (Switzerland); Yellow, CLIQ Peach, CLIQ Rhubarb, Elderflower (Switzerland, discontinued); Original, Green tea, Cranberry, Pineapple, Raspberry (Netherlands)

        I honestly cannot describe the taste, except that “it’s good”

        I only drink the red one (and pretty rarely) so I can’t tell for the others.

      Since moving to Switzerland a year ago I fell in love with ice tea. But I just buy the cold brew tea from Aldi and add a bit of sirup, mint and lemon rind.

      I love Rivella, they now make a vegan one too. Switzerland also has Cswiss which is a lot nicer than the CBD infused drinks they are making over here in the UK.

    Cidona, it’s basically a non-Alcholic version of one of the biggest alcoholic apple cider brands in Ireland. A gateway drug.

          No, I think that’s different. I think the commonest was TK but finches was the fancy one. Country spring was the giant bottle you’d expect at kids birthday parties.
