So I was having a cider with my Sunday dinner today and reading the back of the bottle I noticed the alternative languages were finnish and Swedish rather than the usual French, Spanish and German.
Is this particular cider popular in Finland? (It's rather nice, very fruity, pairs well with beef!)

You got a bottle from a batch that will be exported to Finland and Sweden, no more drama.
The current government just recently allowed the sale of stronger alcoholic beverages in grocery stores.
I’ve never heard of that brand before.
Yes, Westons is one of the most popular proper (sorry, I mean English) cider brands we get here. Thatchers is available too but at least by my own guesstimate you tend to see Westons more in pubs and Alkos. However most cider Finns drink is very very sweet and kinda artificial flavour, like Happy Joe, FIZZ or Somersby. How I miss Aspall!
I tried Westons once, it was a disappointment from English cider to be honest
Seen the rose version once in finland, i love getting wasted on Henry Westons in England though
Cider is surprisingly popular here compared to most of Europe. I remember the first time I visited Helsinki finding cans of a cider local to me in UK, you can’t buy it in 95% of the UK but there it was in a kmarket 🤣
Awesome brand cider
