Veryfine

American juice beverage brand

Veryfine is a juice beverage brand currently owned by Sunny Delight Beverages.[1] The company was started as Standard Vinegar Co. in Somerville, Massachusetts, in 1865. Arthur Rowse bought the company in 1900, changed the name to New England Vinegar Works in 1907, and moved the company to Littleton, Massachusetts, in 1930 to be closer to Massachusetts' apple orchards. In 1919, he added the Veryfine brand name for pasteurized apple juice. His descendants owned and operated Veryfine until selling it to Kraft Foods in 2004.[2]
