White Star (cider)
White Star is a brand of white cider produced under contract for supermarkets and off licences in Somerset, England by the Gaymer Cider Company. It is a cider with an alcohol content of 7.5%.
Its main competition is from other low cost, white ciders such as Diamond White and Frosty Jacks.
It is available in 500 ml cans, as well as 1 and 2 litre bottles and is traditionally served over ice. In some off licenses it can be purchased for £0.69 per can (as of September 2010), a rate of only 18.4 pence per UK unit of alcohol.
It has also been made popular in various Misery Bear videos online.
No one seems to know when White Star cider was first sold to the UK public. Even the brewery who now own the brand name, are unsure of the date of origin of White Star.
