Faxe Kondi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can of Faxe Kondi (2018)

Faxe Kondi is a Danish soft drink produced by Royal Unibrew through Faxe Bryggeri since 1971. Originally it was sold in beer bottles, as Faxe Bryggeri was primarily a beer brewing company. It is marketed as a sports drink, as it contains both glucose and sugar.[citation needed]

There is also a light-version, Faxe Kondi Zero Calories, and three energy drinks, Faxe Kondi Booster (sold only in Denmark until 2019; it has also been seen in markets in Finland since), Faxe Kondi Booster Blue and Faxe Kondi Booster Red. From 2016/2017 onwards, a limited Summer edition has been released annually with a different flavouring each year.[1][2][3] In 2023 Royal Unibrew introduced a orange flavored version of Faxe Kondi called "Faxe Kondi Appelsin", a zero Calorie version is also available.[3]

From 1996 to 2001, Faxe Bryggeri sponsored the Faxe Kondi name in the Danish Superliga (as Faxe Kondi Ligaen) and Danish 1st Division (as Faxe Kondi Divisionen).[citation needed]

Availability outside Denmark

[edit]

The Faxe drinks hold a particularly strong market position in Greenland, where it is bottled in Nuuk from concentrate shipped from Denmark. Faxe Kondi holds a 33% market share in the country (mean consumption: 42 litres (11 US gal) per capita per annum).[4] In Norway, the 0.33L can versions (Regular and Light) are sold by the Normal discount chain; an attempt in 2024 at selling only the light versions in Coop Norge stores flopped, in part as their distributor Hansa Borg Bryggerier admitted to simply trying to get into Norway's diet soda hype and were incorrectly marketing Faxe Kondi Light as being the "original" Faxe Kondi.[5] In Iceland, the 0.33L can versions are sold. In the Faroe Islands, Faxe Kondi is sold in 0.33L cans as well as 0.25, 0.5, 1.5L, and 2.0L bottles.
