sheppys low alcohol cider

Sheppy’s is understood to be in talks with a major mult to stock the cider

Somerset cider brand Sheppy’s has made its first move into the no and low-alcohol category with the launch of a 0.5% cider.

Sheppy’s Low Alcohol Classic Cider has rolled out with an eye to tapping a growing number of abstaining Brits (rsp: £1.30/500ml).
