Holiday hosts
A 750ml glass bottle may suit a meal or gathering where glass is allowed. Decide whether guests would prefer a sparkling or still apple drink.
Who is each format for?
The setting matters as much as the juice: a shared table, a preference for still juice and a day spent carrying drinks call for different packs.
Still organic juice buyers
Biona offers a still organic apple juice with no added sugar. A retailer lists its 750ml product in glass; check the pack if glass is essential to your choice.
People carrying drinks on days out
For a travel bag, pool area or destination with glass restrictions, consider a non-glass pack. M&S lists a 200ml apple juice carton as one such format.
What should you check before choosing?
Start with where you will drink the juice, then compare the pack, sparkling or still style, serving size and storage instructions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack and location | Look for an explicit glass-bottle description. Check the rules at your accommodation, pool or event before packing glass. | I want a bottle for a shared table, but I need a non-glass option if glass is restricted or awkward to carry. |
| Sparkling or still | Check whether the drink is carbonated. ASDA describes Appletiser as sparkling apple juice from concentrate; Biona describes its 750ml juice as still, while an Amazon.co.uk listing identifies it as not from concentrate. | For a gathering, I might choose a sparkling drink; otherwise, I would rather serve still apple juice. |
| Serving size and sugars | Compare the nutrition panel per 100ml and the portion you plan to pour. NHS guidance limits fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day. | A 750ml bottle is for sharing across servings, not a single drink to finish myself. |
| Storage | Read the current pack for after-opening refrigeration and use instructions. Tesco specifies refrigeration and use within five days for its 1L pressed apple juice; follow the instructions for the product you buy. | If I am away for several days, I need somewhere to keep an opened bottle and a plan for using it. |
What is easy to overlook?
-
Assuming a bottle is made of glass
Size, brand and appearance do not establish the packaging material. ASDA explicitly lists the 750ml Appletiser bottle as glass, while the M&S 200ml option is a carton.
Check the product description or physical pack for an explicit glass-bottle statement before buying.
-
Using a shared bottle as a single serving
A 750ml bottle contains several small pours. NHS guidance limits fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day.
Plan the portions you intend to serve rather than treating bottle capacity as a suggested serving size.
-
Packing glass without checking the destination
A glass bottle may work at a holiday table but be unsuitable at a pool, event or other location with its own restrictions.
Check the rules for your destination and choose a carton or another non-glass pack if glass is not permitted.
-
Following an old listing instead of the pack
The bottle you receive carries the information needed to check its ingredients, nutrition and storage instructions.
Read its label and date marking, particularly when buying drinks ahead of a trip.
Which brands offer relevant options?
These examples cover glass, carton and other apple-juice options; the named product’s pack matters more than its brand alone.
Appletiser
ASDA lists Appletiser Sparkling Apple Juice in a 750ml glass bottle.
- The ASDA listing describes 100% carbonated apple juice from concentrate.
- It is sparkling rather than still; check the bottle for its after-opening instructions.
Biona
Biona describes its 750ml organic apple juice as made from apples without added sugar or artificial flavourings.
- An Amazon.co.uk listing identifies the 750ml product as not from concentrate and supplied in a recyclable glass bottle.
- Confirm the pack material when buying, as Biona’s own product description does not specify it.
Tesco
Tesco lists a 1L pressed apple juice described as not from concentrate.
- Its listing states that the juice should be refrigerated and consumed within five days of opening.
- Check the packaging if a glass bottle is required; the cited product listing does not establish that it is glass.
Copella
Tesco and Sainsbury’s list Copella apple juice in larger sizes suited to comparing shared-drink options.
- Check the particular product’s packaging and storage directions rather than assuming it comes in glass.
Tropicana
Tesco lists Tropicana Pressed Apple Fruit Juice as another larger-bottle option.
- The listing does not establish glass packaging for that product; check the specific pack before choosing it for a glass-bottle serve.
M&S
M&S lists a 200ml long-life apple juice in a carton.
- The carton offers a non-glass, individual-size option for carrying drinks.
- It is not a 750ml glass bottle for a shared table.

Common questions
Is sparkling apple juice the same as still apple juice?
No. ASDA describes its 750ml Appletiser as carbonated apple juice from concentrate, while Biona describes its 750ml organic apple juice as still. Choose according to whether you want carbonation, then check the pack format separately.
How much fruit juice should I plan to serve?
NHS guidance limits fruit juice and smoothies to a combined 150ml a day. A 750ml bottle can be divided into smaller servings rather than treated as one portion.
How should I keep an opened Appletiser bottle?
The Appletiser product information says to refrigerate it after opening and consume it within four days. Follow the instructions on the bottle you buy.
What should I check before taking apple juice on holiday?
Confirm whether glass is permitted at your destination, then check the product’s pack material, date marking and storage instructions. If you cannot take glass, choose a non-glass format such as a carton.
