Indicates whether a feature serves or sells Club-Mate, a popular softdrink from Germany, based on a Mate tea extract.

There is some controversy around this tag, since "Club-Mate" is a specific product, and not a generic type of drink (like coffee or cola). So it can be considered to represent advertising for a specific company and might set a bad example for other tags, to dump ad- or brand-specific data into OSM tags. However since the drink has a big fanbase in Hacker and CCC circles, it has been used for a very long time and seems to be tolerated.
