As with other fermented alcohol drinks, such as sparkling wine and beer, cider is made in a range of styles:

• Heritage cider combines cooking and bittersweet apples – and sometimes wild and crab apple varieties. Heritage cider is known for its higher tannins, intense flavours and deeper colours, which range from yellow to warm amber.
• Modern cider is made using cooking apples like Granny Smiths and Golden Delicious, contributing to its characteristic high acidity and tannin-bolstered structure. It’s known for its crisp and refreshing taste, ranging in colour from pale gold to yellow.
• Ice cider is a newer style in colder climate countries, such as Canada. Whereas other types of cider are made by adding sugar during fermentation, ice cider uses apple juice that has been concentrated through freezing. The water content is then removed to leave behind natural sugar. This process results in a rich, dessert-like flavour and a golden amber colour.

Ciders are almost always gluten-free. It is made from naturally gluten-free apples, and the yeast, which plays a crucial role in cidermaking, is gluten-free too.

The only watch-out is the occasional use of additives or flavourings which may contain gluten. Most leading cider brands confirm their products are gluten-free.
