CHAMPIONS CIDER
Forged by a team of former international rugby players who love cider but hate calories and sugar! Champions Cider has only 50 calories per bottle, absolutely no added sugar and tastes absolutely delicious!
NO ADDED SUGAR
At Champions Cider we want to live in a world where those of us craving a refreshing cider aren't forced drink 50g of sugar. That's right, in a 500ml bottle of the leading brands of cider they have upto 50g of sugar!
So we created Champions Cider, with no added sugar which means in a 500ml bottle of Champions there is only 11.2g of sugar!
ONLY 50 CALORIES PER BOTTLE
We all know the joys of running 30 minutes on a treadmill. Well the average person burns 250 calories in this time. It gets worse though... An average 500ml bottle of cider has around 250 calories in it...
A Champions Cider has only 50 Calories. For you mathematicians out there that means that you'd have to drink 5 bottles of Champions Cider to get the same sugar content as a single bottle of average cider.
FORGED BY INTERNATIONAL ATHLETES
Champions Cider is very proudly forged by a team of international athletes who know first hand the demands of elite sport and the importance of a healthy diet. This knowledge and passion means when you buy Champions Cider you are investing in a cider forged not by marketing agencies or a big corporation, but a cider forged in the fires of international sport.
BRITISH CIDER
Champions Cider is very proudly made in the United Kingdom which has been at the very heart of the global cider industry. This means that when you drink a Champions Cider you are enjoying something made from the apples grown in Britain's green and pleasant land.
