Letter: In both absolute and per capita terms, the value and volume of cider sales increased enormously in Australia between 2007 and 2011, ranging from 150 to 188%. These increases dwarfed all other types of alcohol; the only other beverages to increase more than 10% were the absolute volume of spirits (11.8%) and wine sales (10.3%), and the absolute value of spirits sales (13.1%).
