As of 2003, Vanilla Coke was marketed in European countries as well as Australia and New Zealand (in mid-2003). By 2004, Vanilla Coke has been introduced in over 30 countries around the globe.
In 2002, a sugar free version of the soft drink, Diet Vanilla Coke, arrived on supermarket shelves. In some countries, including Australia and New Zealand, a similar drink is marketed as "Diet Coke with Vanilla."
