All Kopparberg ciders contain less than 5 ppm of gluten. Products containing less than 20 ppm of gluten are considered gluten-free according to EU legislation. According to these numbers our cider is gluten free, but we recommend our customers to be careful and try a small amount of our products to see the reaction.

Yeast is used in the process of making our cider, but it is later removed. There can be small traces of it left in the product, but the traces are very small, and the yeast is dead.

Gelatine is used in the filtration process, albeit there is none left in the final product.

The ABV of all alcoholic Kopparberg Ciders is between 4%-4.5%, with the exception of Kopparberg Sparkling Rosé which has an ABV of 7%. The ABV of Kopparberg Alcohol-Free Ciders is <0.05%. Please visit our flavours page for more information about specific variants, or refer to the packaging of individual Kopparberg Ciders.

Kopparberg Alcohol Free Cider adheres to all the legal requirements applicable to this type of product. There will always be a trace of alcohol in products such as this, the same is the case for non alcoholic beers. Nonetheless it is still considered an alcohol free cider. Please email info@kopparberg.co.uk for more information.

The decision of whether consumers need to provide ID when purchasing Kopparberg Alcohol Free Ciders is at the discretion of the pub/bar/shop owner. You will need to contact them directly to get specific information about their ID policy.

If you are a licensed outlet with Kopparberg kegs, you may be eligible for reimbursement on the excise duty paid for the remaining liquid. Per current Government guidelines the duty reclaim process will apply to all best before expiry dates up to and including 4th July 2020.

In order to reclaim the duty, you will need to provide the necessary details and supporting photographic evidence required by HMRC, which will need to be submitted alongside your claim via the returnyourbeer.co.uk platform.

Please ensure you have the following information to hand to complete your claim:
• Keg details including brand (Kopparberg), size and best before date. There are tool tips throughout the claims form to help you.
