Cider isn’t just a seasonal favorite anymore, it’s a booming global category. As consumer preferences shift toward cleaner labels, functional beverages, and low- or no-alcohol options, the cider market is seeing a modern-day renaissance. At BevZero, we’re proud to support this growth with industry-leading dealcoholization technology that extends beyond wine and spirits. Yes, our equipment works for cider too! And we’re making it easier than ever to craft exceptional non-alcoholic cider without compromising taste, aroma, or quality.

The Cider Market Is on the Rise

In the past decade, cider has evolved from a niche beverage into a globally recognized category. Markets across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific have seen consistent growth, with new craft producers entering the space and legacy brands diversifying their portfolios.

So, what’s driving this growth?

• Health-Conscious Consumers: Seeking lower-calorie and low-alcohol choices.
• Craft Innovation: A surge in artisanal, flavor-driven offerings.

Dealcoholization BevZero: Tailored for Cider Too!

Many know BevZero for our pioneering work in wine dealcoholization, but fewer realize that our ClearAlc technology, distributed exclusively by BevZero, is a powerful tool for cider producers as well.

Why ClearAlc Is a Game-Changer for Non-Alcoholic Cider

ClearAlc, developed by the European company Tomsa Destil, utilizes a single-pass vacuum distillation method that’s gentle, efficient, and aroma-protecting. This method is especially ideal for beverages like cider that have delicate fruity esters and volatile aromas.

Key Features for Cider Applications:

• Dealcoholize down to 0.05% ABV, perfect for meeting global standards for NA cider.
• Maintain full flavor profile thanks to low-temperature, high-vacuum distillation.
• Extract volatile compounds (heads, hearts, tails) for selective aroma recovery or reintroduction.
• Optional alcohol rectification up to 92% ABV for secondary product use or sustainability.
• High flexibility and reduced product losses, important for premium craft cider batches.

This combination of precision and preservation makes ClearAlc the optimal tool for non-alcoholic cider innovation. Whether you’re an emerging craft cidery or a global beverage group, BevZero offers scalable solutions that fit your vision.
