what is a cider
Cider (/ËsaÉªdÉr/ SY-dÉr) is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. In the US, as well as some parts of Canada,  cider  refers to unfiltered apple juice, traditionally made with a distinct sweet-tart taste, and in these regions the fermented beverage is known as hard cider.n France, cider must be made solely from apples. In 2014, a study by The Daily Telegraph found that a pint of mass-market cider (Bulmers) contained five teaspoons (20.5 g) of sugar, nearly as much as the WHO recommends as an adult's daily allowance of added sugar, and 5â10 times the amount of sugar in lager or ale.
