For one traveller, particularly when changing trains, a small can is easier to plan around than a larger glass bottle; ASDA lists a 150ml Appletiser can that matches the NHS’s combined daily limit for fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies. A 750ml glass bottle makes more sense for sharing with a meal, provided you can pack it securely as National Rail advises. Check the juice style too: the listed Appletiser formats are sparkling juice from concentrate, not still pressed juice.
A small individual drink avoids carrying a larger glass bottle through stations and onto the train. ASDA lists a 150ml Appletiser can; the NHS advises limiting fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day and having them at mealtimes.
A larger bottle may suit a meal you intend to share, if there is room to pack it securely. ASDA identifies its 750ml Appletiser as a glass bottle containing sparkling apple juice from concentrate. National Rail says luggage must be packed securely.
If pressed, not-from-concentrate juice matters more than glass presentation, check the drink and its packaging separately. Tropicana describes Orchard Apple as pressed and not from concentrate. Sainsbury’s lists Copella Cloudy Apple 300ml as a chilled product, but its bottle material should be checked on the specific listing.
Start with how you will carry or share the drink, then check the quantity, juice style and storage label.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying the drink | Check the container material and pack size. If taking glass, make room for it inside secure luggage; National Rail says luggage must be packed securely and train-company policies can differ. | With a train change or a crowded carriage, I would rather carry an individual drink than a loose 750ml glass bottle. |
| Quantity with a meal | Check the amount in each container, not just the pack size. ASDA lists Appletiser in a 150ml can and a 750ml glass bottle. The NHS advises a combined daily limit of 150ml for fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies, taken at mealtimes. | If I am drinking it alone with lunch, a 150ml container is straightforward to plan around. For a larger bottle, I would plan to share it rather than treat it as one serving. |
| Juice style | Read the product name and ingredients for carbonation and whether the juice is from concentrate. ASDA identifies both listed Appletiser formats as carbonated apple juice from concentrate; Tropicana describes Orchard Apple as pressed and not from concentrate. | I might want a sparkling drink with food, or I might be looking specifically for pressed juice. The bottle material alone will not tell me which it is. |
| Storage | Check the exact pack’s instructions before and after opening. Sainsbury’s says to keep Copella Cloudy Apple 300ml refrigerated; ASDA says to refrigerate the 750ml Appletiser after opening. | For a longer journey, I need to know whether the drink I choose requires refrigeration, especially if I expect to keep some for later. |
A larger bottle is easier to share than to plan as an individual drink. The NHS advises limiting fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day and having them at mealtimes.
For a drink with your own meal, check the container quantity. If you choose the larger bottle, plan how it will be shared and stored after opening.

For a train meal, the 6 × 250ml pack offers individual units rather than a bottle to share. Each unit is 250ml; the NHS advises limiting fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day, so do not treat one unit as that daily amount.
