Strong cider is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting apple juice. The form described here is strong cider, including vintage varieties. It mainly provides energy from alcohol and carbohydrate, with the carbohydrate present as sugars. Per 100ml, it contains 285 kJ of energy, 7.3g of carbohydrate, 7.3g of sugars and 5.8g of alcohol.
Both alcohol and sugars contribute to the energy content of cider, which is relevant for people monitoring their energy or sugar intake.
