Our tweet about real cider being one of your 5 a day recently prompted a news article that was discussed on regional radio at BBC Coventry.

A lotta bottle

It was reckoned by a local cider maker in the area, that on average 30 pressed apples make a pint of real cider. So by having one apple a day is 1 of your five, so 30 apples in fermented juice should definately do it!

An apple a day – keeps the doctor away!

Doctors are repeatedly telling us one glass of wine a day is fine, and as the process of making cider is more similar to wine that beer I am happy to agree with them..

What do you think?
