I don't buy pop so I had no idea but a quick search shows Cherry Coke available at IGA in Quebec:

BTW, as far as labelling goes it's federal interprovincial trade regulations that require bilingual labelling. It's not necessarily related to Quebec itself, although Quebec has its own rules on labelling of course.
As soon as a product crosses an interprovincial border (even BC-Alberta), it needs bilingual labelling. Or at least a bilingual descriptor of what it is. Often all you see that is bilingual is BEER / BIÈRE and most of the rest is all in one language.
Case in point. There is a high-end chocolate and ice cream shop that just opened near my place here, and I noticed their labelling on chocolate bars, fondue kits, etc. is all in French only. They are based in Quebec City, and have stores here and there in Quebec, but none outside the province.
