About This Drink
This is one of the better-kept secrets in Sainsbury's alcohol-free range. While the own-brand wines lean on German dealcoholised wine or grape must, this cider is made by the people who actually know cider: H Weston & Sons, the Herefordshire cider makers behind Old Rosie and Henry Westons Vintage. That provenance shows. The process involves maturing the cider in oak vats, which gives it a bit of the roundness and body that genuinely low-alcohol products often lack. The colour is golden straw; the nose is clean, crisp apple; and the mouthfeel is described as soft with a medium-dry profile. The finish carries a bittersweet quality that's distinctively cider rather than apple juice. At 0.9% ABV it doesn't quite reach the 0.5% threshold, so it's low-alcohol rather than alcohol-free. Reviewers have been kinder to this than to the wine range: the Alcohol Change UK rating sits at 5 out of 5, and independent reviews note it punches above its category. Vegan-friendly, sold in 500ml bottles at Sainsbury's.
