Apple wine or cider, as it is also commonly known, has a light to golden yellow color with a crisp, refreshing taste and a tart apple aroma.

Unlike red and white wines, apple wine/cider has a much lower alcohol content: 5-6%.

Apple wine is naturally low in sodium and sugar: only 2 g of carbohydrates per 100 mL with no preservatives.

A 250 mL glass of apple wine has only 84.5 calories.
Compare this to beer (108 calories/glass), red wine (168 calories/glass) and white wine (173 calories/glass).

Apple wine's natural acidity also helps to aid digestion after a large meal!
