How has Cider reacted to the crafted beer movement? Is Cider seen as craft, and has the rise in 330ml cans had an impact on this category?

Continuing our efforts to explore categories of interest and supply our customers with free insightful research, we undertook an exclusive survey with UK based off-trade Cider drinkers, focusing on associations, brands and repertoires.
