And let’s not forget convenience. Unlike beer, it’s gluten-free. Unlike wine, it doesn’t require a corkscrew or fancy glassware. Original Gold is your fridge’s new MVP—ready to go when you are. So next time you’re reaching for something fruity, consider the cider that delivers real fruit flavor in its purest, most refreshing form.
