Who is this for?

Hosts sharing a table bottle

If your guests enjoy fizz, a 750ml sparkling glass bottle offers an alcohol-free drink to put on the table. Decide how much to pour before assuming one bottle will cover the whole group.

Guests who prefer still drinks

A still cloudy juice avoids carbonation. Inn Express lists Bensons in 750ml glass bottles, but ordering the listed product means buying a 12-bottle case through a trade account.

Shoppers comparing labels

Check the exact bottle for juice type, sugars, ingredients and storage instructions. A glass container or distinctive apple variety does not answer those questions on its own.

What to check before choosing

Start with your guests’ preference for fizz, then confirm the bottle material and the details that affect serving it with a meal.

Priority What to check Your needs
Fizz and bottle Check whether the juice is sparkling or still. If glass matters, look for an explicit bottle-material or glass-recycling statement for the exact product. I want a bottle to share at the table, but the drink still needs to match my guests’ preference for fizz or no fizz.
Juice style Read whether the juice is from concentrate or not from concentrate, and whether it is cloudy. A named apple variety can help identify a particular flavour style without guaranteeing how it will taste to you. If I am choosing between a fizzy drink and a chilled cloudy juice, I want to know which product I am actually serving.
Pour size Compare sugars using the same serving size or per-100ml figure. ASDA Groceries lists 26g of sugars per 250ml serving for Appletiser; the NHS says no more than a combined 150ml of juice and smoothies counts towards 5 A Day in a day. A 750ml bottle is for sharing, so I want to choose pour sizes deliberately rather than treat every glass as another 5 A Day portion.
Storage and labels Read the current ingredients and allergen information. Check whether the unopened bottle needs chilling and follow its instructions after opening. I need a drink I can store and serve as labelled, especially when a guest needs ingredient information.
Buying format Check whether the listing is for one bottle or a case, and whether ordering requires a trade account. Inn Express lists Bensons as 12 × 750ml bottles. For one curry night, I would check whether I can buy the quantity I need and store any bottles left over.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming a chilled juice comes in glass

    The Tesco Copella and M&S Collection listings describe their juices but do not establish that those particular bottles are glass. A bottle image or premium-looking name is not enough if the container material matters.

    Check the current product description or the physical bottle for a clear glass-material or recycling statement.

  • Using the bottle size as the serving size

    ASDA Groceries lists 26g of sugars in a 250ml Appletiser serving. Separately, NHS guidance says a combined 150ml of fruit juice and smoothies is the maximum that counts towards 5 A Day in a day.

    Check the label’s serving size when planning pours, and offer water alongside the meal for guests who want it.

  • Ordering still juice without checking the pack

    Inn Express lists Bensons still cloudy juice in glass, but the order format is a 12-bottle case requiring trade-account access. That is a different purchase from picking up one bottle for a home meal.

    Confirm the pack quantity and whether you can use the seller before placing an order.

Brand and product-line references

These examples illustrate different drink styles; a brand’s inclusion does not mean every product it sells uses the same bottle.

Appletiser

A sparkling 750ml apple juice for a table where guests enjoy carbonation.

  • ASDA Groceries and Tesco Groceries identify the 750ml product as apple juice from concentrate in a glass bottle.

Copella

A chilled cloudy option if a confirmed glass bottle is not essential.

  • Tesco Groceries describes the 1.35L apple juice as not from concentrate.
  • Keep it refrigerated; the Tesco listing does not establish glass packaging for this product.

M&S Collection

A chilled 1L Pressed Pink Lady apple juice for shoppers interested in a named-apple variety.

Questions about serving apple juice

Should I choose sparkling or still apple juice for curry night?

Choose sparkling if guests enjoy fizz, or still if they avoid carbonation. That preference is more useful than assuming either style pairs better with every curry; check separately that the exact bottle is glass if that is part of your plan.

How many servings are in a 750ml bottle?

A 750ml bottle provides three 250ml pours, the serving size used on the Appletiser listing. That is different from NHS 5 A Day guidance, under which no more than a combined 150ml of juice and smoothies counts in a day.

Does a glass bottle mean the juice will taste better?

No: glass identifies the container, not a guaranteed flavour. A 2019 apple-juice perception study published in Foods found that brand and package information affected expectations; compare the actual product type and ingredients as well as its presentation.

What if a guest has an allergy?

Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact current pack before serving it. GOV.UK guidance for pre-packed foods says the ingredients list must emphasise any of the 14 allergens that are required to be declared and are present.

Should apple juice go in the fridge after opening?

Follow the instructions for the particular bottle. The Tesco Groceries listings for Appletiser and Copella both say to refrigerate after opening and consume within four days; Copella also needs refrigeration before opening.
