     In 1880, Charles Riley Maynard and his brother started making candy in their kitchen, in Stamford Hill, London. In 1896, the brothers formed the Maynard Sweet Company. Around 1900, an heir to the Maynard Company Charles Gordon suggested to his father they make wine gums. But Charles Riley being a strict and total Methodist was outraged and shocked that his son would have such a blasphemous idea!

     However, Charles finally came around to the idea of "wine gums" after he found out that these candies would contain no alcohol. With father and son on board, Maynards Wine Gums were born!
