For individual still drinks, consider 250ml glass bottles that you can pack securely; Folkington's lists its cloudy, not-from-concentrate apple juice in that format. For a shared meal, a 750ml Appletiser glass bottle is a sparkling option rather than a like-for-like substitute. Check the campsite's glass rules before packing either format; the NHS advises limiting fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day and having them with meals.
If you want still apple juice with a campsite meal and have room to protect glass bottles in transit, Folkington's lists cloudy apple juice in 12 x 250ml glass bottles. Check whether a case is practical for the number of people travelling.
If the group wants a fizzy apple drink with a meal, ASDA Groceries lists Appletiser in a 750ml glass bottle. Its carbonated apple juice from concentrate is a different style from still, not-from-concentrate juice.
If you can use doorstep delivery and return the bottle through the same service, Milk & More describes its 568ml apple juice as supplied in return-and-reuse glass. Confirm how and when the bottle must be returned before taking it away from home.
Decide whether the drink is for one person or for sharing, then check its juice style, packaging and the conditions at your campsite.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle and transport | Confirm that the exact product is in glass, check the campsite's current rules and plan how to protect and take away the bottles. | I can carry glass securely and have somewhere to keep the bottles until they can be returned or disposed of appropriately. |
| Juice style | Read the ingredients and description for still or sparkling juice and whether it is made from concentrate. Folkington's lists 100% apple juice not from concentrate; ASDA Groceries describes its 750ml Appletiser as carbonated apple juice from concentrate. | For breakfast I might want still juice, while a shared meal might call for a sparkling drink. I would not treat the two as the same style simply because both come in glass. |
| Serving amount | Compare the bottle size with the number of people sharing it. The NHS advises a combined limit of 150ml a day for fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies, consumed at mealtimes. | A 250ml bottle is more than that NHS daily reference for one person; I may prefer to share it rather than assume an individual bottle is one recommended serving. |
| Dates and storage | Read each bottle's date, storage and after-opening instructions. The Food Standards Agency distinguishes safety-related use-by dates from quality-related best-before dates. | I need a storage plan that follows the label for the whole trip, especially once a bottle has been opened. |
Folkington's lists still apple juice not from concentrate, while ASDA Groceries lists 750ml Appletiser as carbonated apple juice from concentrate. The drinks will not meet the same preference for still or sparkling juice.
Choose the drink style from the description and ingredients before deciding which bottle size to pack.
Whether glass can be brought onto a particular campsite or event depends on its conditions. Bottles also need protection from breakage during the journey.
Check the site's current rules before departure. If glass is not permitted, choose a non-glass format.
Broken glass also means stopping to clear it up safely and keeping the fragments out of shared areas.
The NHS advises limiting fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day and having them with meals. A 250ml bottle exceeds that daily reference if one person drinks it all.
Plan how many people will share a bottle and bring water for other drinks during the day.
The Food Standards Agency distinguishes use-by dates, which concern safety, from best-before dates, which concern quality. Keeping food for too long or at the wrong temperature can create a food-safety risk.
Check each bottle's date and follow its storage and after-opening instructions when planning what to take.
A still, cloudy apple-juice reference for campers considering individual glass bottles.
A sparkling option for a shared campsite meal.
A doorstep-delivery option for using a returnable bottle before a trip.
These sparkling apple drinks may suit a shared campsite meal or smaller individual servings. If a glass bottle is essential, confirm the packaging of the exact product before ordering.

For a shared campsite meal, the 750ml size can be portioned between people who want a sparkling apple drink. Confirm the bottle material and follow the product's storage instructions, particularly after opening; do not assume it meets a glass-bottle requirement.

The six 250ml units offer separate servings for people who want a lightly sparkling apple drink. Check the packaging material of this exact pack if you need glass; the 750ml Appletiser glass-bottle listing does not establish the packaging of this variant.
Check the campsite's booking terms and any event-specific conditions before packing glass; permission depends on the site. If it does not accept glass, choose a non-glass format rather than assuming the drink's packaging will be allowed.
The NHS says fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies count only once towards 5 A Day and advises a combined limit of 150ml a day. A 250ml bottle is larger than that reference amount, so consider sharing it.
The NHS advises having juice and smoothies with meals rather than between them because the sugars released by juicing can damage teeth. Plan juice for a meal and take water for other drinks.
The Food Standards Agency distinguishes safety-related use-by dates from quality-related best-before dates. Check the date on each bottle and follow its storage and after-opening instructions throughout the trip.
Do not assume that campsite recycling completes a return-and-reuse arrangement. Milk & More describes its glass bottle as part of a returnable delivery system, so check how to return it before taking it away from home.
