Vok Beverages is a drink manufacturer in South Australia . ^[1]

Earlier history [ edit ]

Before the acquisition by Bickford's of the brandname, Vok was a brand of a range of liqueurs manufactured by Jan Vok, a Dutch company, popular in Papua pre-war. ^[2] Immediately after WWII sixteen flavours, ^[3] from Advocaat to White Curacao were being imported into Australia, and distributed by Stephen King Pty Ltd of Sydney. ^[4]

An early marketing exercise by the company was the "Vok Thousand", an award of ￡1000 (one thousand pounds ? the price of a mid-range car ) to a Test cricketer, on the basis of points accumulated over the 1950?51 season. ^[5] Len Hutton was the inaugural winner. ^[6]

The company, which advertised prominently in the Dutch language Australia newspapers ^[7] made the distinctive shape of its bottles a " selling point ". ^[8] The company was still advertising similar products in the "distinctive bottle" in November 1978. ^[9]
