Where can I buy fruited cider?
Fruited cider is cider with other fruit besides apple (or pear in perry) — berries, stone fruit and citrus show up often. Buy it from craft makers, specialist shops and festivals; read the label for the added fruit. Labels and fruit names on the bottle help you spot fruited cider without a brand ranking.
