Somersby is Carlsberg Group's biggest selling cider and was among the world's fastest growing international ciders in 2014. It is a very popular alternative to beer and wine, and a natural alternative to flavoured Ready-to-Drink products.

Apple Cider is derived by the fermentation of the juice of apples, without at any time adding distilled alcohol. Sugar and apple juice may be added both prior and post fermentation. Most ciders are carbonated and food additives (permitted in EU legislation) can be used.
