DH and I like Henney's Frome Valley dry cider. It is 6% though, but less than some.

Have bought it in Tesco and Sainsbury's.

Bulmers do a couple of very low ones....on their website it gives the amount of alcohol.

I wonder if this table of supermarket ciders and their qualities is any use?

Nk you. I'll give it a try. More suggestions welcome as its the bone dry ones I really like. There used to be a cider caller No 7 which was superb but I don't think it's made any more. sad

I don't know whether this would be dry enough for you, MiceElf, but I tried this cider a week or so ago and it was really nice. It's 4.1% from Tesco's.

Yes, I have googled but they never give alcohol content. Thank you Jingl but it's a bit far for me. Perhaps one day.

A recommendation from personal experience is what I need.

I can recommend visiting here

Loads of samples so you can find one that you really like. They even do a nice pear one.

Can't remember the name but DH enjoyed a local one in Rye in Sussex the other day. Don't know about the alcohol content. It was quite a long word Bigger................. Bidder.................... or something like. Sorry, not a lot of help.

Have you tried googling dry cider?

Can anyone recommend a dry, really good tasting cider which isn't terribly high in alcohol? All the ones I like - Aspalls, Thatchers and some others are 7% or sometimes more. If it's possible to make beer (which I dislike but which isnt sweet) at around 4%, why can't the cider makers do the same. Or perhaps there are some that I haven't discovered.
