Question

Best answer gets 10 points.

Answer 1

The answer depends on who you ask and where they're from. In some places, cider is fresh unfiltered apple pressings while juice is filtered and sometimes further processed. In other places, cider always refers to a fermented (hard) beverage, while in others there is absolutely no difference-- any liquid pressings from apples can be equally referred to as either juice or cider.

Answer 2

Apple juice is filtered

Answer 3

Apple Cider is apple juice carbonated, that is, it has air in it and is fizzy.

Apple Juice is just apple juice.  

Answer 4

Apple cider is the name used especially in the United States and parts of Canada for a non-alcoholic beverage produced from apples by a process of pressing. It is more sour and cloudy than conventional apple juice, retaining the tart flavor of the apple pulp which is lost in conventional fruit juice production.

Answer 5

"If it's sweet an' yella, you've got juice there fella.

If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town."

Answer 6

there is a world of difference. cider is really thick and sometimes overly sweet. it also contains no preservatives. whereas apple juice tends to be watered down and a lot less sugar. cider is usually served hot with cinnamon and apple juice is served cold.
