Choose a multipack of cans if guests want sealed, individual sparkling drinks: Appletiser offers six 250ml cans labelled as 100% apple juice, while Cawston Press offers four 250ml cans of a sparkling drink containing 49% pressed apple juice. If guests prefer still juice, 200ml carton multipacks provide individual drinks without fizz, though they are not cans; check serving sizes and the exact pack's availability before buying.
If each player should have a sealed drink rather than pour from a shared bottle, compare the number of cans or cartons with the number of guests. The listed options range from three individual cartons to six cans or cartons per pack.
Appletiser's six-pack is labelled as 100% carbonated apple juice from concentrate. Cawston Press's four-pack is a sparkling drink containing 49% pressed apple juice, so the two cans do not have the same composition.
The listed individual cans hold 250ml and the still-juice cartons hold 200ml. The NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined total of 150ml a day, so check what is in the drink as well as the size of its container.
Start with whether your guests want fizz, then compare the drink's composition, the number of individual portions and the size of each one.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count the drinks, not just the total volume: Appletiser has 6 x 250ml cans; Cawston Press has 4 x 250ml cans. Tesco lists 6 x 200ml still-juice cartons and Sainsbury's lists 3 x 200ml cartons. | I want enough sealed drinks for the players without putting out glasses and a shared bottle. |
| Fizz and juice content | Check whether the drink is still or sparkling and read its stated juice percentage. ASDA lists Appletiser as 100% carbonated apple juice from concentrate; Sainsbury's lists Cawston Press as a sparkling drink with 49% pressed apple juice. | Some players may want fizz, while others would rather have still apple juice. If I choose cans, I want to know whether they contain 100% juice or a juice drink. |
| Portion and sugars | Compare the volume and labelled sugars on the same per-serving basis. ASDA lists 26g sugars per 250ml Appletiser can; Tesco lists 20.2g per 200ml Growers Harvest carton. The NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day. | A sealed drink makes serving easy, but I do not want to mistake a whole 200ml or 250ml pack for a 150ml fruit-juice portion. |
| Planning ahead | Check storage instructions, the date on the pack and stock for the exact multipack at your chosen store or delivery postcode. Chill drinks before serving if you want them cold. | I would like to buy the drinks before game night without relying on a pack that may not be available when I order. |
ASDA labels Appletiser as 100% carbonated apple juice from concentrate, while Sainsbury's describes Cawston Press as a sparkling drink containing 49% pressed apple juice.
Read the ingredient list and juice percentage before treating the two packs as interchangeable.
The listed cans contain 250ml and the still-juice cartons contain 200ml. The NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined total of 150ml a day.
Check the drink's composition and portion size rather than relying on the fact that it comes in an individual pack. Offer water as another drink choice.
A product listing does not establish that the exact multipack will be available for your store or delivery postcode when you need it.
Confirm availability before settling on the number of packs for your guests.
The listed apple-drink can options are sparkling. Tesco and Sainsbury's also list still apple juice in individual 200ml cartons.
Include a still option if fizz will not suit everyone; check the packaging if cans are essential.
