Coca Cola alternatives (lemmy.world)

My one vice is diet caffeine free coke, I’m so rock and roll. Trying to find a UK/EU alternative I keep finding almost all drink brands are owned by Coke or Pepsi. These companies which originated in the USA have entities in the EU, which complicates the decision. Can anyone recommend a wholly UK(ideally) or EU alternative that’s reasonably priced?

In Germany, Lidl has caffeine free Diet Coke by Freeway (their own brand) and it is very very reasonably priced.

I have bought the Lidl/Aldi lemon and orange sodas before, I’ll have another look at their cola, thanks! Hopefully Freeway is wholly EU based and not owned by a US conglomerate.

At least in Germany, it's made by Schwarz Produktion, a company belonging to the Schwarz Group, the owner of LIDL / Kaufland.
