Cider tasting weekend number 2
Sep. 13th, 2025 11:30 pmTonight at dinner tried my 3rd low or no alcohol cider, with Sainsbury’s own brand low alcohol medium dry cider. It’s 0.9% alcohol, 0.5 units in the bottle. And it’s the best one I’ve tried yet. Great smell, and an almost scrumpy like taste. Win win!
Next weekend will fingers crossed be Sheppy's low alcohol cider. If our local Tescos has it in stock.
I am pleasantly surprised that Somerset-raised Martin is having a similar reaction to the low/no alcohol cider tastings as I work through them!
And for American friends, cider here = British cider, which is very strong, and usually very alcoholic. Not just apple juice. I'm trying to get a fairly authentic British alcoholic cider taste in no alcohol or low alcohol. And having mixed success, but finding some good ones.
And it is definitely helping my IBS type problems.
