Cider is a type of alcoholic beverage based on the fermented juice of apples. The variety of apple best suited for making it is the aptly named cider apple thought other types of apples work as well. Cider alcohol content varies from 1.2% to 8.5% or more in traditional English ciders, and 3.5% to 12% in continental ciders.
Ciders are available in a bunch of flavours and are also classified from dry to sweet. Their appearance ranges from cloudy with a sediment with even a crystal clear version. The colour changes are due to the differences in fermentation processes and also due to the choice of apples. Modern day ciders are very similar to sparkling wines in appearance although the traditional varieties are still produced and then tend to be darker.
The growth of the cider market is mainly driven by the innovative new flavours and appealing marketing strategies. Manufacturers are trying to create a market for ciders as a healthier alternative to other alcoholic beverages. The packaging of cider is also an important driver with bottles of different sizes and shapes being introduced to attract customers. Consumers are also moving away from conventional beverages and are willing to try out new products and this is yet another driver for the market. As for the restraints in the market, the cultural differences play a major role in hindering its consumption and most people still consider it as an apple drink rather than an alcoholic beverage.
