Cider Sales Top £1bn

摘要

The warm weather at the beginning of the summer helped propel annual cider sales above the £1bn threshold for the first time since 2014. Sales of cider rose 5.5% year-on-year to just over£1bn during the 12 months ending 15 July 2017, according to Nielsen who analysed till sales (EPOS data) in 20,000 UK shops. However, sales between the middle of May and middle of July, alone, increased 16% year-on-year. Statistics from the Met Office showed this May was the second warmest since records began in 1910, while June's was the best for a number of years.
