Two references, one ambition: deliver Red Bull wiiings without the sugars. Red Bull Sugar Free and Red Bull Zero differ in their sweetener formula, but share the same stimulating profile as the Original. For distributors, these two references offer a double advantage: full CBS tax exemption and a favourable consumer trend that is only accelerating.

Sugar Free vs Zero: what's the difference?

✅ B2B buyer tip

In your shelf, both versions coexist without cannibalising each other. Sugar Free attracts long-standing consumers loyal to the product since the 2000s. Zero attracts new entrants in the "no sugar" category seeking the taste closest to Original.

The CBS advantage in figures

On Red Bull Original 25cl (27g of sugars per can), the CBS tax represents approximately €0.08 to €0.12 per can. On a case of 24 cans, that is €1.92 to €2.88 of CBS. On Red Bull Sugar Free and Zero: zero CBS. On a weekly rotation of 10 cases, shifting 30% to Sugar Free or Zero represents annual savings of €300 to €400 on CBS alone — at the same or higher selling price.
