Grape Juice shows the modern American smoothie bar at its most colorful. Welch's, church communion, lunchbox, and breakfast table. From mall kiosks and gym counters to airport juice bars, drinks like this turned fruit, vegetables, dairy, and boosters into a grab-and-go ritual. It is bright, practical, and part of the country's late-20th- and 21st-century drink culture.
