I've really only drank two sorts of apple juice. Juice that comes in cartons like typical orange juice and might be described as standard. And Coton Orchard (Cox's?) apple juice as supplied from Trinity College, which is really wonderful. The question is, does anyone regularly drink nice apple juice and if so which? I am completely ignorant of whether Coton Apple Juice is typical for nice apple juice, or particularly good.

Of course, I still have fond memories of it from Trinity, and like living within five miles of an orchard, so would like to visit out there one day when I'm cycling anyway.

Right, but my limited experience of orange juice suggests there's concentrate, which is ok, and non-concentrate, which is nice, and occasionally "Wow, I didn't know sunlight could be made liquid like that[1]". Although I may be misled, and the difference between "nice" and "wow" is mainly just how I feel at the time.

And I assume something similar applies to apple juice, but again don't know if the third tier exists, or that Coton was nice mainly because it was real rather than non-reconstituted (although I think I've a few times had apple juice out of posh bottles that's merely been nice, but I'm not sure).

[1] This metaphor is surprisingly literal, given that the orange juice actually is made out of sunlight in some sense :)

Is there a type of fruit juice you can name by type that you don't drink?

*me fails* Sorry, I don't quite understand that? Are you reading the first sentence as if I only drink apple juice? I typically drink orange juice when I want juice, and occasionally other things, but of apple juice that I drink, I have noticed, etc, etc.

I think there are different types of from concentrate. Some of the cheaper stuff they put sugar and stuff in. I'm not sure about that though, I'm no expert on this.

Errr.... Sorry, I'm trying to discover if there is anything that commonly identifies any fruit juice (apple / orange / whatever) that you've tried but didn't like. Sort of attacking the problem from the other direction.

Oh, I see. Not particularly, nothing that's stuck in my mind. I'm not particularly fond of most other juices I commonly see, but like them occasionally.

I think I didn't like the juice as much, but often have an elderflower something in pubs if I want something refreshing.
