Are Wine Gums meant to taste like the names they bear?

I've just had a claret. Later I'll be having a port. Are these things meant to taste, in any way, like the drinks with which they're branded? Or are they just orange, lime, lemon - the usual suspects - with something added to make them taste, uhm, winey?

Imagine if they'd thought that they were in fact made of gums!
