I agree with the first bit, but I think the cider market has come a long way in the last couple of years. Bayeaux is almost commonplace and I've seen Aspall a few places since first encountering it in the Beerhall Challenge. And Koppaberg is huge, though I don't know how well-regarded it is among the cider people. It all seems to me to be some distance from Ritz and Scrumpy Jack.

It's still on trial, having been first test-marketed in Limerick of all places since last year.
