Taste-Off: The best apple cider at Bay Area supermarkets

Wandering an apple orchard and biting into just-picked orbs of juicy sweetness makes for a memorable autumn adventure. But if you don’t have time for that, pouring a glass of just-pressed apple cider summons fall flavors, too, and that seasonal favorite is stacked on store shelves at this time of year.Sweet cider — not to be confused with alcoholic hard cider or apple juice made from concentrate — is not only a tangy, fruity treat in a glass, it’s the key ingredient in hot spiced cider, doughnuts, syrups, jelly and other treats.Before you grab that jug of apple cider, though, it pays to understand what cider is — or should be.
