"Seemingly", William's favourite drink is cider (alcoholic apple juice) so the William Wales is supposed to remind you of the taste of cider but with a sparkle.

While in the UK I really fell for the bottles of sparkling ciders. Since I don't drink beer this was a great substitute in the pubs ! I found some here once and then no more. I will have another try as this summer it would be a nice refreshing drink on the patio.

I'm the same - I don't like beer but I do like cider so opt for that when I go to a pub.

We like the drier variations so tend to do for the Gaymers brand of apple or pear when on offer.
Current brew in our house is the £1.25 offer in Tesco
