How does Vio milk drink differ from regular milk?
Vio is a Coca-Cola flavored milk product, and it is not plain milk. The US test product was carbonated, fruit-flavored and sweet (26 g sugar per 8 oz), while Coca-Cola India's Vio is a flavored milk in saffron and almond varieties. Regular milk has no added flavor or fizz.

What is Vio?
Vio is the name Coca-Cola used for flavored milk drinks. There have been at least two different products, so the answer depends on which one you mean.
The US version: fizzy milk
The Takeout describes it as basically fizzy milk with tropical-inspired flavors. It was sold in 8-ounce aluminum bottles and test-marketed in New York.
- Flavors: Citrus Burst, Peach Mango, Tropical Colada and Very Berry.
- Sugar: 26 grams per 8 ounces, which the article compares with 39 g in a 12-ounce Coke.
The India version: flavored milk
Dairy Foods reports that Coca-Cola India launched Vio as a flavored milk in two variants, Kesar Treat and Almond Delight, with saffron, pistachio and almond flavors. It uses milk from dairy farmers, is sold in 200 ml aseptic packs and was said to have no preservatives.
How is it different from regular milk?
| Vio | Regular milk | |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor | Added (fruit, saffron, almond) | None |
| Sugar | Added (US version: 26 g per 8 oz) | Natural milk sugar only; no sugar added |
| Fizz | US version was carbonated | Still |
| Use | Treat drink | Everyday drink and cooking |
Should you choose it?
- Treat it like a sweet drink, not a replacement for milk.
- Read the label for sugar, calories and allergens.
- Check whether it is sold where you live; the US product was only a test.
Taste
Tasters in the US review compared it to sugary yogurt thinned with seltzer.
