Cider lovers across the globe will salute this unique fermented apple beverage on its international day of celebration.World Cider Day will be held on Saturday, June 3rd, with events and specials happening at venues across Australia.

“World Cider Day is an opportunity for consumers to learn more about the origins of cider and different styles and to feel part of something global”, said Mr Reid.

World Cider Day was initiated in the Northern Hemisphere where June marks the beginning of summer and apple cider season. While in Australia cider makers are starting to emerge from the busy harvest season.

“As vintage concludes it is the perfect time for the cider industry to slow down, take stock and enjoy the fruits of their labours”, Mr Reid said.
