Shelf Life Tips

  • How long does non-alcoholic sparkling apple cider last once opened? The precise answer depends to a large extent on storage conditions — keep opened sparkling apple cider refrigerated and tightly closed.
  • How long does sparkling apple cider last in the refrigerator once opened? Sparkling apple cider that has been continuously refrigerated will keep at best quality for about 7 to 10 days after opening.
  • Is opened sparkling apple cider safe to drink after the "expiration" date on the bottle? Yes, provided it is properly stored and the bottle is undamaged - commercially packaged sparkling apple cider will typically carry a " Best By," "Best if Used By," "Best Before", or "Best When Used By" date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the sparkling apple cider will remain at peak quality.
  • How can you tell if opened sparkling apple cider is bad or spoiled? After opening, commercially manufactured sparkling apple cider will start to become flat; if the sparkling apple cider develops an off odor, flavor or appearance it should be discarded.
  • Discard all sparkling apple cider from bottles that are leaking, rusting, bulging or severely dented.
