SANDFORD ORCHARDS’ RED ZERO NAMED BEST NO-ALCOHOL CIDER IN THE WORLD

Devon-based Sandford Orchards’ Red Zero has just won gold and been named Best Non-Alcoholic Cider at the World Cider Awards, less than a year after it was launched. This latest achievement follows gold awards from Taste of the West and The Farm Shop and Deli Awards, with undoubtedly more to come.

Barny Butterfield, founder of Sandford Orchards comments: “We took our time creating Red Zero because we like to do things properly at Sandford Orchards. It was not the first non-alcoholic cider to market but we like to think that it is one of the best and it seems that the experts agree. Winning Best Non-Alcoholic Cider at the World Cider Awards recognises all the hard work and effort we put into making Red Zero and puts it firmly on the global cider map as the best in the world!"

Red Zero (ABV 0.5%) is an utterly delicious, crisp and fruity non-alcoholic cider created from fabulous apple varieties including Farmers Glory, Dabinett and Sweet Alford. Created using traditional cider methods and the same technology used for Guinness Zero, you're drinking the real fermented drink with the alcohol extracted.  

Barny continues: “We chose to make Red Zero in the most expensive way because we weren’t prepared to compromise on quality and the result is on another level. In its short life, Red Zero has already won rave reviews from our customers but this accolade is the icing on the cake and a testament to our team’s efforts. I am really proud of how hard they've worked to produce a cider with the same attention to detail as our flagship Devon Red. Red Zero tastes so good that most people can not believe it is not alcoholic- we call it alcohol-free cider, done right.”
