When I walked by this fridge yesterday, I had to rewind a few steps, in order to check that this was not an optical illusion 
Incidentally, We must have passed each other yesterday evening in the lounge.

I buy Ringi at Vinmonopolet (Norwegian State liquor store). They are well-known for knowledgable staff and a good selection of wine (no irony!) and have to offer non-alcoholic alternatives. Up-market fruit juices are highly accepted alternatives to wine here.
This is the current selection.

The sparkling, Eplefryd, is sold out, the small bottle called just Ringi Eple probably is the SAS variant (a blend). The red variant contains 20% Aronia juice (black chokeberry) probably to make it acceptable as an alternative to red wine. The other three are apple varietals. Personally I prefer the Gravenstein, a very Norwegian varietal of apple. All three are available at my local Vinmonopolet in Kristiansund, as well as apple juice from other producers.
And here is their homepage: Ringi AS - Våre produkter

Thanks! I think I've seen the Aroma on SAS? I'm not sure. I found one in here in Denmark that was actually close to it (but not quite). Now, to see if and which places they deliver and I live (got several mailing addresses so this should be fun!) I didn't know they made a red one! That's awesome. I get so tired of drinking alcohol on flights - never thought I'd say that but here we are - this stuff has seriously been a great change of pace.

The only time I spend in Norway is sadly the mad dash for layovers or unfortunate hangovers after the CPH-Oslo boat... so... never really experienced any shopping there. I'll keep it in mind if I get a chance to actually spend some time there.

I was very impressed to find Mikkeller beers catered on my CPH-EWR flight. I slept almost all of it 
but I very much enjoyed my Northern Lights IPA before I went to sleep! ^

Meal today on MUC OSL. who comes up with this complex crap? The raw kale and the seeds in the dressing overpowered everything. I gave up after 5 bites and ordered things from the menu. Ringi Apple juice and the smoothie saved the day.

Swedes... In their attempts to overpresent it and overdo the concept they completely forgot to create something edible.
Either that or it is a SK cost-savings strategy to discourage anyone from eating something other than potato chips and a soda.

It looks nice and fresh, though it reminds me of an episode of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares where he is screaming 'Who the F... told you all those flavours go well together?'

The flavour combinations make me wonder sometimes.

He may have done it more than once, as I have never seen prawns and chocolate sauce mentioned. But on that topic, I did just pick up an instant yaki soba with chocolate sauce here in Japan. Have higher hopes for novelty value than flavour.
