For individual still drinks, Folkington's offers cloudy apple juice in 250ml glass bottles; for a sparkling drink to pour and share, Asda lists Appletiser in a 750ml glass bottle. Check the exact pack and ingredients before buying: glass packaging does not tell you whether a juice is still or sparkling, and the NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
Folkington's lists its cloudy apple juice as a case of 12 × 250ml glass bottles. That format lets you hand out bottles without pouring, although a 250ml bottle is larger than the NHS's 150ml daily guidance for fruit juice and smoothies combined.
Asda lists Appletiser as a 750ml glass bottle of carbonated apple juice from concentrate. It suits a group that wants fizz and plans to bring cups rather than give everyone an individual bottle.
If you are packing juice alongside food that normally needs refrigeration, plan how you will carry the chilled items. The Food Standards Agency advises using a cool box or bag with ice or frozen gel packs for those foods; the NHS's 150ml guidance is also worth considering when deciding how much juice to pour.
Decide whether the drink should be still or sparkling, then check the exact bottle, serving information and storage instructions for your picnic.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Juice type | Read the ingredients and description for still or carbonated juice and whether it is from concentrate. Folkington's lists not-from-concentrate juice; Asda lists Appletiser as carbonated juice from concentrate. | I want to know whether I am handing out still juice or pouring a fizzy drink to share. |
| Bottle and portion | Confirm the bottle size, pack quantity and glass packaging on the exact product. The NHS advises limiting fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day; a 250ml bottle is larger than that amount. | Individual bottles would simplify serving, but I may prefer a larger bottle if guests will pour smaller amounts into cups. |
| Nutrition label | Compare sugars per 100ml and per serving on the exact pack, paying attention to the stated serving size. Glass packaging alone says nothing about those values. | I want to compare the amount I expect to pour, not assume that two differently sized servings are equivalent. |
| Picnic packing | Check the pack's storage instructions and protect glass bottles in transit. For foods normally kept refrigerated, the Food Standards Agency advises a cool box or bag with ice or frozen gel packs. | My drinks need to travel without the bottles knocking together, while chilled picnic food needs its own cooling plan. |
Folkington's lists still, not-from-concentrate juice in glass, while Asda lists Appletiser as carbonated juice from concentrate in glass. The packaging material does not settle the choice between them.
Check the exact product description and ingredients before comparing bottle sizes.
A 250ml bottle exceeds the NHS's advised combined daily amount of 150ml for fruit juice and smoothies.
If you are following that guidance, consider pouring a smaller amount or sharing the bottle.
Food that normally requires refrigeration needs attention during transport as well as at the picnic. The Food Standards Agency advises a cool box or bag with ice or frozen gel packs.
Check which items need chilling before you pack, and keep their cool bag closed when it is not in use.
A brand's juice type does not establish the packaging of every bottle or carton in its range.
Confirm glass packaging and size on the product you intend to order.
