A review of Morrisons Low Alcohol Cider - a low-alcohol supermarket cider. A mix of cider and apple juice, it is more sweet than refreshing.

As far as we can see, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose are the only big grocery stores who’ve ventured into market with their own low-alcohol ciders. So, credit where credit is due.

They next question is: would you want to drink them? In this case, possibly not.

Like most low-alcohol ciders, this one is a mix of cider and apple juice, but they also chucked in some extra sugar. The result is a drink that’s a bit too sweet, as well as being a bit too gassy. It’s refreshing enough when chilled, but we can’t say it’s great cider, sorry.

As with a number of the alcohol-free beers (hello, San Miguel and Sainsbury’s) this cider is also let down by its packaging. When you’ve made a decision to lay off the booze for a bit, it would be nice to have more alcohol-free options that at least look like a treat.
