What should you check before buying?
Decide whether the drink needs to be still or sparkling, then match its serving count, packaging and storage instructions to the venue. YouGov surveyed 2,118 GB adults on 20–21 October 2025 about shopping choices generally, not apple juice; respondents could select multiple factors when comparing products at the same price.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Packaging and venue |
Check whether the pack is glass and where it can stand securely. Plan to take bottles home; London Fire Brigade warns against leaving glass in outdoor spaces. |
I want packaging that works at my table and that I can take away afterwards. In YouGov's general shopping survey, 17% selected packaging materials when comparing products at the same price; 34% selected recyclable or biodegradable options in its packaging-type results. |
| Still or sparkling |
Read the product name and ingredients for carbonation. ASDA lists Appletiser as sparkling apple juice from concentrate and Copella 1.35L as not from concentrate; Tesco describes Tropicana 1.8L as pressed, not from concentrate. |
For a toast, I may want fizz; for guests expecting ordinary still apple juice, I would choose a product labelled still. |
| Serving count |
Compare pack volume with labelled 150ml servings. ASDA lists nine for Copella 1.35L, and Tesco lists 12 for Tropicana 1.8L. The NHS advises a combined limit of 150ml a day for fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies. |
I want enough small servings for the group without treating a larger pack as a reason to keep topping up glasses. |
| Chilling and storage |
Check storage before and after opening. ASDA says to refrigerate opened Appletiser and use it within four days, and to keep Copella refrigerated and use it within four days of opening. Tesco says to refrigerate Tropicana and use it within five days of opening. |
I need space to keep drinks chilled and a clean serving spot away from raw-food preparation. |

Questions about apple juice at a BBQ
Is a glass-bottled apple drink suitable for a BBQ?
It can suit a stable garden-table setting if you can keep it away from the cooking area and collect the empty bottle. For public outdoor spaces, check local BBQ rules and take all glass home; London Fire Brigade warns that focused sunlight through glass can cause a fire.
Is Appletiser the same as still apple juice?
No. ASDA lists its 750ml glass-bottled Appletiser as sparkling apple juice containing carbonated apple juice from concentrate. If guests want a still drink, check for a still product instead.
How much apple juice should I plan per guest?
Plan using 150ml servings: the NHS advises limiting fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day. ASDA lists nine such servings in Copella 1.35L, while Tesco lists 12 in Tropicana 1.8L.
Do I need to refrigerate apple juice during a BBQ?
Follow the individual pack instructions: ASDA says to keep Copella refrigerated and refrigerate Appletiser after opening; Tesco says to store Tropicana in the refrigerator. Keep drinks on a clean serving side, separate from raw-food preparation.
Can I hold a BBQ in a park or woodland?
Check the rules for the specific location before taking a BBQ. London Fire Brigade warns that BBQs, including disposable ones, may be banned in parks, woodland and other open spaces, and advises taking all litter home, including glass bottles.
