Male bait

Think of a Diva and what immediately comes to mind? Right. The Figure. A big figure. This must be the reason why South African Breweries (SAB) calls its 660ml returnable bottle a "Diva". SAB’s "Redd’s Premium Dry", a dry-tasting apple flavoured fruit ale, is now packed in a 340ml can, a 340ml non-returnable bottle and a "Diva". Redd’s Premium Dry is a line extension of the original "Redd’s Premium Cold" which was launched several years ago in response to Stellenbosch Farmers Winery (SFW) putting an apple cider, "Hunter’s Gold", into the market. Actually Hunter’s Gold was a flavoured wine but this gave SAB the idea of coming up with its own version of a cider: an unhopped, beer-based, apple flavoured alcoholic beverage. Hence the 660ml Diva for the recently launched Redd’s Premium Dry..
