V
Released onto the New Zealand market in 1997 and Australia a short time later, V was something particularly different in the cold drinks market, with a distinct bottle and can it served as a contrast against other caffeinated cold drinks that were on the market in 1997.

Black V
This was released in 2004 in both Australia and New Zealand. Instead of the artificial "fruit" flavour of other varieties, it has a coffee flavour.
When released in Australia, it was marketed towards students and it was advertised as having a less acidic flavour. The campaign claimed that a tired body tends to get an upset stomach more easily, and, while Black V has twice the taurine of the other flavours, it was supposedly much gentler on the stomach. The taglines for the advertising campaign were Taste the smoothness and Release the night monkey.

Berry V
Released in New Zealand first, in 2005, Berry V had an artificial berry flavour added to the traditional V flavour.
Berry V was released in Australia in 2007, giving Australia the same range of V drinks as New Zealand.

Lemon V was released in June 2008, with a yellow and gold label.
