Choose a can multipack if your festival permits cans, you want a sparkling drink and your group will use the pack. Individual 200ml cartons offer a still alternative in smaller packs, but they are not cans; compare the stated juice content and check storage instructions before buying.
Four-can sparkling packs and six-packs of 200ml still cartons give each person a sealed serving without opening a large carton. Check whether you want carbonation, and read the juice percentage: the formats do not all contain the same proportion of apple juice.
If the group can use a larger pack and the event permits cans, Costco UK lists Appletiser as 24 × 250ml cans. Its listing describes the drink as lightly sparkling, 100% apple juice from concentrate.
Compare the size of each carton or can with how much you intend to drink. The NHS says sugars in unsweetened fruit juice count as free sugars and advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
Start with the event’s container rules and the number of servings your group needs; then compare the drink inside each pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check that the pack contains cans if cans matter to you, and confirm the festival permits them. Compare the number and size of sealed servings. | I want drinks the group can share without opening one large container, but I need packaging the event allows. |
| Juice content | Read the ingredients and stated juice percentage. Costco UK describes its 24 × 250ml Appletiser cans as 100% apple juice from concentrate; Sainsbury’s lists Cawston Press Cloudy Apple 4 × 250ml as a sparkling drink made with 49% pressed apple juice. | If I want 100% apple juice, an apple-labelled sparkling can is not enough information on its own. |
| Storage | Check unopened and after-opening instructions separately. Tesco’s Growers Harvest and Sainsbury’s 200ml carton listings specify cool, dry storage before opening and refrigeration afterwards. | Without dependable refrigeration, I would rather open a small carton when I am ready to finish it. |
| Portion size | Compare the pack’s serving size with the NHS advice to limit fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day; read the nutrition label for the specific drink. | A 200ml carton or 250ml can is larger than that NHS guidance amount, so I want to consider how much I will pour or drink. |
Costco UK describes its Appletiser cans as 100% apple juice from concentrate, while Sainsbury’s lists Cawston Press Cloudy Apple as a sparkling drink made with 49% pressed apple juice.
Compare the ingredient list and juice percentage before choosing between them.
Tesco and Sainsbury’s instruct shoppers to refrigerate their listed apple-juice cartons after opening. That matters if you cannot keep a partly used carton chilled at camp.
Choose a sealed serving you can finish, or make sure you can follow the after-opening instructions.
The NHS counts sugars in unsweetened fruit juice as free sugars and advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
Bring water as well, and compare the size of each juice serving with that guidance.
Container rules are set by the individual festival. A can multipack is only useful for this trip if the organiser allows cans at your campsite.
Check the organiser’s current prohibited-items guidance and the retailer’s stock before you buy.

The listed six-pack gives a group individual 250ml servings of lightly sparkling apple juice. Each serving is larger than the NHS guidance amount of 150ml a day for fruit juice and smoothies combined; check the packaging format and your event’s container rules before relying on it for a festival.
No. Costco UK describes its Appletiser 24 × 250ml cans as 100% apple juice from concentrate, whereas Sainsbury’s describes Cawston Press Cloudy Apple 4 × 250ml as a sparkling drink made with 49% pressed apple juice. Check the ingredients and juice percentage on the pack you choose.
They can if you want still juice in sealed 200ml servings rather than cans. Tesco and Sainsbury’s specify cool, dry storage for their listed unopened cartons, but require refrigeration after opening, so plan to finish an opened carton or follow its storage instructions.
