I like savanna cider from South Africa. Its just arrived in my local tescos

Oh my goodness, thank you! I loved that stuff while visiting family in SA! I never thought they would start selling it here.

Yummy!


(don't shop at Tescos, so never would have noticed this myself)

My husband bought some Merrydown Vintage cider in silver cans when he couldn't get Magners. He said it's nicer than Magners and it was £2.99 for 4 cans in Asda, so cheaper too.

I don't like cider - prefer real ales :cool:

Tesco.com and Asda have stopped selling it. Tesco did it for £1.89 per bottle

Bulmers in the UK is not the same Bulmers in Ireland.

Quite why it's rebadged as Magners here I have no idea. The stuff sold over here is made in the UK and although it's ok, the real deal stuff has a different taste and one I prefer. Bulmers over here is horrid stuff, ASDA are flogging it off cheap and I can see why.

Bulmers, Magners, Ritz, Stag these brands of ciders all 'owned' by one group.

Interesting to see from the Bulmers website -

Bulmers = strongbow, scrumpy jack & woodpecker

Yup, there is another Bulmers ASDA are doing though and it's not the same stuff as Bulmers/Magners.

I see why it's call Magners in the UK now though. Informative post ta.

i'll try and clear up some of the confusion between bulmers/magners

bulmers is magners in ireland, however they couldnt use the name bulmers over here since theres a cider company already called that (owners of strongbow and owned by scottish and newcastle) so to cash in over here bulmers became magners, and became the latest thing
s&n here decided to cash in and launched bulmers over here with a slightly different tasting yet cheaper cider

The bulmers original cider has been out for donkeys years and is not a new thing. It is just become more recognized after the popularity or magners. I also think that magners will not be widely available, as S&N are really pushing bulmers original now.
