RITA Bici Bici Grape Drink with Nata de Coco brings a playful twist to the classic grape beverage, delivered in a brand-new 325ml Wide Opening Can. This innovative packaging design replaces the traditional small-tab lid with a fully removable top, transforming the can into a convenient drinking vessel. Inside, generous chunks of big-size nata de coco float alongside a refreshing grape-flavoured liquid, creating a drink that is as fun to look at as it is to sip. Developed from RITA's established PET bottle range, this canned edition marks the next step in the brand's evolution, combining bold purple branding with the cheerful "We are BIG" promise that signals substantial nata de coco pieces in every can.

Wide Opening Can Design: A Fresh Take on On-the-Go Refreshment

The Wide Opening Can is the standout feature of this Bici Bici variant. Unlike a standard aluminium can that opens with a small tab, the entire lid detaches cleanly, giving drinkers a wide mouth to pour, sip, or even enjoy the nata de coco pieces directly from the can. This design is especially practical for consumers who want the portability of a can with the ease of a cup. For UK retailers and convenience stores, the format offers strong shelf appeal and a clear point of difference in a crowded soft-drink aisle.

Why the Wide Mouth Format Matters for UK Consumers

British shoppers increasingly value packaging that fits busy lifestyles. The Wide Opening Can caters to commuters, festival-goers, and anyone who prefers a no-fuss drinking experience. Its resealable-free design encourages single-serve consumption, while the wider aperture lets the eye catch the translucent nata de coco cubes — a visual cue that reinforces the product's fun, textural identity. With a Brix of 9.2±0.2, the grape liquid strikes a balanced sweetness that appeals across age groups, from teenagers seeking a colourful treat to adults looking for a lighter alternative to carbonated drinks.

Grape Flavour Meets Big-Size Nata de Coco

At its core, this is a grape-flavoured drink elevated by the inclusion of big-size nata de coco — chewy, translucent cubes that add a satisfying textural dimension to every sip. The formulation blends grape juice, sugar, citric acid, and natural grape flavour, with gellan gum and sucralose rounding out the mouthfeel. Each 325ml can delivers approximately 37 kcal per 100ml, making it a relatively light option within the flavoured-beverage category. The product's pH of 3.7±0.2 ensures a bright, tangy profile that pairs well with the sweetness of the grape base.

From PET Bottle to Aluminium Can: RITA's Packaging Evolution

RITA Food and Drink Co., Ltd. first introduced the Bici Bici concept in PET bottles, where it quickly gained traction across Asian and Middle Eastern markets. The move to a 325ml Wide Opening Can responds to growing demand for aluminium formats in the UK and Europe, where cans are favoured for their recyclability and premium shelf presence. Manufactured under strict international standards — including BRC, FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, and HACCP — the product maintains consistent quality whether produced for domestic sale or exported to one of RITA's 200-plus destination countries.

UK Market Fit and Wholesale Opportunities

The United Kingdom's soft-drink market continues to embrace novelty formats and globally inspired flavours. RITA's Bici Bici Grape Drink with Nata de Coco taps into two key UK trends: the rising popularity of Asian-style beverages and the consumer shift toward visually distinctive packaging. For distributors, wholesalers, and independent retailers, the product offers a compelling shelf proposition — a recognisable brand, an eye-catching purple-and-white design, and a unique wide-mouth format that invites impulse purchases. With a 24-month shelf life and robust export logistics from Vietnam, the can is well-suited to both large-scale retail rollouts and niche specialty stores.

OEM and Private Label Possibilities

RITA's OEM and ODM capabilities mean the Bici Bici platform can be adapted for private-label partners seeking a grape-and-nata-de-coco product under their own brand. The manufacturer's 50-plus automated production lines and capacity of over 1,200 containers per month provide the scale needed for high-volume orders, while in-house R&D supports flavour customisation and packaging tweaks. Certifications including Halal (Jakim and HCA-GCC), Kosher, SMETA, and GMP give UK importers confidence that the product meets rigorous ethical and food-safety benchmarks.
