If you're ever looking for a cherry cola replacement, Cheerwine in glass bottles is delicious. I have no idea how widely distributed it is outside of NC.
Great rec. I always joke with folks that NC has great food and drinks, it's just that they might end up killing you - Krispy Kreme, Bojangles, Cheerwine, and barbecue. I guess Texas Pete wouldn't really hurt anyone :)
Coincidentally I had a bottle of Cheerwine at Central Market in Texas, which is also part of the HEB company.
